Welcome to the 4th Annual Very Informal Summer 10 Mile Run.  This year's race is again sponsored by Fleet Feet of Cincinnati, and we also welcome a new sponsor, Northwestern Mutual, The Kelley Financial Group, Inc. 


Follow down on the blog to find the race flyer and registration form below - they are JPEGs that you can print off and use. This race raises money for two great causes - (1) Cincinnati Children's Hospital and (2) The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.

Our goal each year is to have a very informal 10 mile run in the late summer - see the flyer for more details about how we define "informal". While the race is still in its infancy, we have increased our donations each year. Our goal this year is 40-50 runners and raising over $1,000!   This year's race is Saturday, September 15, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. on the Loveland Bike Trail. The race starts at Nisbet Park and goes from the old 9 mile marker to the old 14 mile marker and back. All of the registration fee, except the cost of the t-shirt will be donated to the two charities. All other race expenses are being paid by donations or the race sponsors.

So check out the flyer and registration form and mail them in. Don't delay! Act Now! And see you on September 15th in Loveland.

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Very Informal Summer 10 Mile Run, sponsored by Fleet Feet of Cincinnati.

Follow down on the blog to find the race flyer and registration form on the May, 2011 posts. This race raises money for two great causes - (1) Cincinnati Children's Hospital - my nephew was born with a very rare condition - a KHE Lesion and Cincinnati Children's has been amazing with his care these past few years; and (2) The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation - I was diagnosed almost 20 years with Colitis and this organization is constantly striving for new and better treatments and cures.


Our goal each year is to have a very informal 10 mile run in the late summer. While the race is still in its infancy, we have been able to raise some money. Last year, with only about 15 runners, we raised $600. This year we hope to have about 40-50 runners and raise close to $1,000. This year's race is Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. on the Loveland Bike Trail. The race starts at Nisbet Park and goes from the old 9 mile marker to the old 14 mile marker and back. All of the registration fee, except the cost of the t-shirt will be donated to the two charities. All other race expenses are being paid by donations or the race sponsors.

So check out the flyer and registration form and mail them in. Don't delay! Act Now! Representatives are awaiting your registration! And see you on the 10th of September in Loveland.

Welcome to the ZDS Very Informal Summer Run Blog, where you can find the latest updates on the next ZDS Summer run. The main goal of this race is to raise money each year for 2 great causes. The first is Children's Hospital, who took amazing care of my nephew, Zach (the "Z" in ZDS), when he was born with a very rare condition, a KHE Lesion, and they have been amazing with his continued care as well. The second is the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation - I was diagnosed with colitis almost 20 years ago and this organization does great work in the search for better treatments and cures. I am the "D" in ZDS. The "S" is our silent benefactor.




Our goal each year is to have a very informal 10 mile run in the late summer. This year's race is on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. on the Loveland Bike Trail. The race starts at Nisbet Park and goes from the old 9 mile marker north to the old 14 mile marker and back. All of the registration fee, except the cost of the T-Shirt will be donated to Children's Hospital and the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. All other costs are being paid by either donations or the race sponsors, so that we can maximize the donations.
The flyer and registration forms are included above - the are in JPEG form. You can copy them and print them off to send back to me.
I hope to have a great run.
