November General Mayhem

A few races that I’m running, that I’ll be at and other fun stuff.

13th Annual Run for All Ages

This 5K will be held Saturday, November 1st at Lake Quannapowitt, Wakefield, MA at 10AM.

The race is organized by the New England 65 Plus Runners Club and is a celebration of running for all ages. It’s not unusual to see generations running together.

Race Day registration is $30. If you are 13 or younger registration is $10. Runners over 80 run for FREE!

Omni Running will be there selling “My First 5K” medals. So if you are looking to run your first 5K or know someone who is and would like to get a medal, this is a nice flat course.

RUN FOR A CAUSE

3rd Annual 5K Stride For The Saugus Y

Saturday, November 8th, 9:00am

SAUGUS FAMILY YMCA

If you register today (10/31/14) the cost is only $15! The race is in Breakheart Reservation, so you better be prepared to run some killer hills!

I’m running this race as part of my “50 5Ks at 50” project. Not looking forward to those hills!

Details and registration

Will Run for Beer 2015 Series registration is open!

Click on the series schedule to go to their registration page. This is a favorite series of mine that I have been running for four years.

If you register for the series before December 31st you pay only $5.00 to get the race jacket. After January 1st the fee is $10.00.

You have to register for the series AND run at least 5 races. You can even skip the half marathons if you want to.

The series starts with your pick of three New Year’s Day races.

You can run the Hangover Classic 5K in Salisbury, and then jump in the ocean!

You can also run the First Run 5K or 10K in Lowell. I would not advise jumping into a canal after one of these races. I’ve run them both, but tend to like the Hangover Classic.

Some years New Year’s Day is warm and a dip in the ocean isn’t as bad as it sounds.

Here’s one for the kid’s or the kid in all of us.

A Pumpkin Smash with Salvatore’s catering and Harpoon serving up some cold ones. Fun for the whole family. Salvatore’s is in Medford Square and the food is excellent. What can you say about Harpoon?

If you’ve never been to Smolak Farms you should take the kids to this event. They make the best apple cider donuts also.

Run well my friends,

Andy
