Ok, this is a tiny race, so this may only apply to Jon. Usually, this race is at Millersylvania State Park (where the vampires hum "In The Mood" and "Moonlight Serenade"). In fact, this month's Northwest Runner lists this as the location. However, the signup page lists the location as Vance Creek Park (no vampires). According to Maniac Andy, the RD told him that the proper location this year is VANCE CREEK PARK. So if you show up at Millersylvania, it'll just be you and the vampires. And those won't be fake costumed vampires either. They keep their blood in Little Brown Jugs. BTW, this is 3rd-hand info. If I'm wrong, it's because I suck.
Runners run
"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."
Now I'm really confused. There is another Halloween marathon/half (or is it just a half?) in Elma on the 12th of Oct. But when is the Olympia one??
OMG, Lopez, you are a saviour. I was SURE there were two different races, and I was trying to decide which one to do. But, alas it turns out I will be unable to go to Elma that weekend. BUMMER.
But you'll miss the donuts!
