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.
