Schramm Park Orienteering Run

For the Orienteering run this Saturday you may register the day of. I have some beanies available.
I will be there early so if you want a crash course in Orienteering/map reading be at the main office around 8:30am.
Be sure to have a compass and UTM tool. I will have extra if you don’t.
There will be a mass start at 10:00 and a 12:00 cut off.

Panama Adventure Race

Registration is now open at www.raceregister.net or download entry from the Angry Cow website.
This is the first adventure race of the year and it is always fun to get teams together and iron out things for the season.
This is very low key but it’s a good way to get used to racing with a team.

Stampede Trail Adventure Run

I am excited to add an ultra distance in this years run.
The course will go from Good Life Fitness and into Wilderness. The 6 and 13.1 miles will be an out and back.
The 50k will go through wilderness and down to Stage Coach road on the Homestead Trail and back.
Fun routes with a nice flow to them.
There is some confusion but this race is donating funds to the rebuilding of trails and signage at Pioneers Park  and the Friends of Wilderness Park is hosting a race March 17th for the trails of Wilderness Park.
Registration is now open at Raceregister.net.

The trail series this year will go to 6 different locations with each having it’s own identity.
Watch for locations and info as they get closer.
2 races will have ultra distances and 1 will have a relay division.
I want the trail runs to be true trail runs with the elements of the trail to be the challenge.
I will be using chip timing from Alan Higley timing, Dorito’s and Lay’s at a few events this year and courses will be measured from PDC company.

Don’t forget the Nutrition clinic this Thursday (26th) at 7:15pm Max Muscle Lincoln on South 27th.

Have a good week!!

Don’t forget the Nutrition clinic at Max Muscle  on S27th in LIncoln Jan. 26th @ 7:15pm.
Great tips on healthy eating, good habits. Open to anyone.

Good Life Fitness has spin classes signing up fast and there are only a few slots left so give them a call today.

Starting Feb. 1 we will be doing Monday and Wednesday workouts starting at 6:00pm from the Jamaica trail head at 25th & Saltillo Road.
Mondays will be biking and Wednesdays will be running.
The running will be working towards getting trail miles in for the Stampede Trail Run March 3 and the Lincoln Marathon in May.

These workouts will be a NO drop so anyone can come out and have fun.

The season is off and running so let’s get out and have some fun.

This year I am very fortunate to have some great sponsors and partners that have come on board.
I encourage all of you to stop in and see the sponsors and say thanks and try and do a race with the other partners.

I will highlight a few each week for the next few weeks.
During the year I will advertise sales, deals that they may have and promote events that the partners will have.
Thanks again to all those folks.

I will do a couple of new along with old this first time.

Colleen’s Catering  from Beatrice comes in this year and Colleen and her family have been doing some events the past few years.
Colleen does a great job in providing for any activity you may have from work luncheons to wedding parties.
Check out what she can do at www.colleen’scateringonline.com.

The crew from Synergy are back and I am very happy to have them on board. They are very supportive in all my events and try to make it to most of them.
I know they have helped a lot of people since starting their business.
I like to think I beat people up on the weekends and they fix them during the week.
Weird huh?

2 new partners are 41 North Racing in Des Moines, Iowa and Big Mountain Adventure Racing in Colo. Springs, Colo.
It’s great to have those guys part of our Heartland AR Series this year and I know I plan on doing both of their races.
Welcome!

One of these days winter will hit us and it will be time to hang up the running shoes and bikes for a few days and get out the skis and snow shoes.  I’m ready.
