Why Aren't You Racing This Weekend?



With 9 races to choose from this weekend, every runner should be out there hitting the pavement! Races range from the 5K to a half-day relay and support a variety of causes including domestic violence, Lion's Club, and church ministries! Its a smorgasbord of running.

I plan on racing this weekend although I haven't decided for sure where yet. I think if my wife wasn't working we'd go down to the Englishton race and enjoy the festival. Maybe I'll end up in Hartford City, I could use a fast 5K right now.

Here we go:

Hawthorn Half-Day Relay teams or individuals run for half the day around Hawthorne Park in Terre Haute. There is no race-day registration for this event.

Doughboy 5K
in Bloomington, IN.

Laufenfest 2007 5K this 5K is actually in southern Indiana near Evansville, but looks pretty cool.

Father's Day Four is on the southeast side of Indy. This event is hosted by Tuxbro all proceeds benefit the Calvary Christian School's campaign to build a new playground.

Spud Run 5K
is in North Liberty, IN (OK, so I've not quite got down the whole Central Indiana thing, but I'm working on it!!)


29th Annual Flora Hog Jog located in Flora, IN just of SR 18. This event includes a 10K and a 2Mi run. They even have a runt run for kids and free Pork Burgers afterwards!

Englishton Park 5K Run and Walk
located near Lexington, IN in conjunction with the Old Settlers Celebration. This race is also called the Captain's Romp and includes lots of "era-appropriate" ideas such as a muzzle loader starting the race. Profits benefit Englishton Park's Summer Children's Program.


Domestic Violence Network's 4th Annual Together We Stand 8K Run & 5K Family Walk located at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis with all proceeds benefiting the Domestic Violence Network.

Jennifer's Run 5K located in Hartford City. This is a flat, fast 5K course supporting the local chapter of Psi Iota Xi's efforts to Stomp Out Domestic Violence.
