Fall Running events

Kansas or Kansas City area?

This link below has a good list of running events in mostly Kansas and western-ish Missouri. The bolded, larger font races tend to be the "bigger" races.

I myself will be doing the Gobbler Grind half.

A few of us did the Bison 50 relay a few years ago, that was pretty fun. You fast runners should put together a serious relay team and take the title, just sayin'....

Who's running KC Full or Half? I'm in for the 13.1

I was planning to do the KC Full, but my training has been interrupted the last couple of weeks.  I may just do the Half now.  Reece, what pace do you plan on running?

You think Reece will fall for that again?

Procrastinated, so I signed up for the gobbler grind. Plus, that way I can indulge on Thanksgiving with slightly less guilt.

My running has been dismal at best. Only 47 miles in September so pace will be 8:00-8:10 maybe. I'll probably hang with the 1:45 pace group then see how I feel around mile 9 or 10. No PR for sure. PF still lingering but hasn't acted up all summer/fall. Ran 10.4 yesterday, left heel sore, Taking today off, maybe run 3-4 tomorrow.

Pete's running is looking good. I think he can go low 1:30's if not below that. Looking forward to the advertised BBQ afterrwards.

Is Pete running the half?

Yep

Maybe I can tie a rope to him and try to hang on.  The tie the rope to a light pole with a mile to go and beat him! 

Of course pace is somewhat dependent on the festivities the night before .....

Not too many pool parties this time of year... but bonfires might be an option...

Whoa fellas. I have been running and am doing the half. BUT I am running with a neighbor who also likes to dabble in the booze. He already said he would pickup our packets so we could spend Friday afternoon at the local tavern hydrating.

So, I have a feeling it may be 1:45 this year.

pretty sure you could pull off 1:45 hammered...

Aaaaaack!  I went to register for the half and it is sold out!!!  I am such an idiot.    I guess I could sign up for the full marathon and make the best of it, but don't feel like I am fully trained for that distance.

Interesting, I was considering it as well. I guess I am not anymore.

Relay? Winning time last year was 2:55

We could put together a relay.

I am good for just about any distance.  Jon, how far would you want to go?  Who else?  Brandon?

I dont care, I have been running a lot lately. Probably 50mpw, but there are two things to think about 1)it costs 240 if we can sign up in the next 3 days, so 5 people would be best. 2)if we want to win we would probably need at least 4.

Brandon is getting married in Florida that weekend. I could ask him to postpone?

Well, that answers that for me. I am already signed up for the half Mary at Corporate Woods and was going to wait until Monday to see about signing up for KC half...I was thinking I would jump in at the last minute and blame any problems on it being "5 weeks too early".

They were running a discount for the relay and 5K, not sure if that's still applicable.

Link to save $50 for a relay team. Must do so by October 13. Use promo code GOTEAMS

I'd be in for a 10k segment at a winning pace...
