Title: Best race on Aug 3rd? Post by: Michelle Lowry on May 03, 2012, 09:18:50 pm Hi All,
I will be in Utah for a few weeks this summer! I plan on running Des News 10k, then want to run a 5k or 10k on August 3rd. Anyone have a suggestion for one? The best I can find is Wasatch Wellness 5k/10k in Provo, but I am wondering if there are other options. Thanks! Michelle Title: Re: Best race on Aug 3rd? Post by: Jake Krong on May 04, 2012, 08:51:56 am Hey Michelle - I assume you mean August 4th (Saturday)... there is a new circuit race that day... the Midvale Rotary 5K. It looks like a flat, fast course. I would bet money (if it were legal here ;) ) that you'll see a lot of bloggers there.

Of course I will be sucking wind a bit without the altitude training. Do you know your race plans yet--will you and Andrea be there? I would love to have in the race, I would try to ride her coattails and get a good time :)

Plus its close to home which is always a plus. You can always draft off me if you're feeling really spry - coming back up to altitude from sea level ;)

Title: Re: Best race on Aug 3rd? Post by: Michelle Lowry on June 26, 2012, 08:59:06 am Jake--this 5k looks like it is Aug 11th? Am I mistaken?
Title: Re: Best race on Aug 3rd? Post by: Jake Krong on June 26, 2012, 09:06:10 am You are not mistaken... its the following weekend. The USATF circuit schedule has a lot of dates wrong - they are still a week off on the TOU 1/2. Although this 5K doesn't even appear to be on the circuit anymore.

Post by: Rob Murphy on June 30, 2012, 06:03:29 pm Impressive list. But what about the Alta Peruvian 8k. It's hard to beat a 2000 foot drop over 8k.
Not that you'd want to beat it. |
