Off to Kearney we go in September for a night Urban. If you have never run or rode your bike at night I would get those night lights out and start to practice.
Last years race was a lot of fun in the dark. This year we will be starting at 7:30pm so you will have a couple hours of daylight.
The Holiday Inn in Kearney came on as host hotel. Give them a call at 308-237-5971 and let them know you are coming for the race to get the discount.

I am still looking for 1-2 people to race at Milford Lake on August 28. Check out www.adventureracekansas.com and let me know by August 7 so we can train together a little.

The Platte River Trail Run for tomorrow is now marked on the west side if you want to check it out.
The trails will be a lot of fun. We will meet south of the pool and tennis courts at 7am.
I will be giving away some free entries to upcoming races to those that show up tomorrow such as the Xterra and others. Sweet deal.

We will be doing a park clean up for Wagon Train Lake on July 31 at 10:00am. Meet at the beach parking lot. Plan on a couple of hours and then we can go for a ride. RSVP so I can get bags. Don’t forget your park stickers.

I will be planning a park clean up for Platte River SP on the west side for sometime in August or early September. The park has had a number of trees come down with the wild weather this year.
Don’t forget you need a valid park sticker to enter the park.

Just a heads up for the trail run at Platte River SP this Saturday. I have waived the late fee and you can register up to race start.

Bring a dry set of clothes. The showers should be available. Make sure you have current park stickers on your car.
Check in starts at 7:00am.

The Xterra will have a twist to it this year with a short course and the trail run.
We will be using Area 1 & Area 7 at Branched Oak Lake so the course will be fun and challenging.

Kearney’s Night Urban with the Pony Express theme this year really opens up some fun challenges for the event September 11.
