Granny's Gravy Update


Here's answer some of the questions I got about the Thanksgiving day race.

1. The race will be before the feast. I was thinking around 8:00, but probably whenever people are awake.

2. Yes, I will mark the course.

3. I think a shorter race for kids is a great idea! I was thinking maybe we could do that on the track. I just get nervous about kids running on the road. If anybody wants to join in for just part of it, Grandma suggested having a sag-wagon to pick up people or you could just pick a point near the end and start there.

4. I think I may be too lazy/cheap to design and print shirts, so I have an idea for some medals at the end.
Okay, that's it. If anyone has any other questions or ideas let me know-it's going to be fun!

1st Annual Granny's Gravy 5K

Hey everyone. Kent and I were planning on running the local turky trot on Thanksgiving morning. But we decided to go up to Montana for Thanksgiving instead. And since there isn't a local 5k in Hamilton that day, I have devised my own race route which you can check out here: http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/mt/hamilton/683128866394656082 . Anyone is welcome to run it with us. It starts at Granny McLean's house up on Weber Drive and ends at the other McLean's house on Ravalli street. I think I'm going to make shirts, so let me know if you want to run it!
