2013 Reggae Run Recap

The Reggae Run is one of the Cincinnati's largest races. 2013 marked the 20th running of the Reggae Run. It was held at Ault Park in Hyde Park but due to outgrowing Ault Park, they moved it to Eden Park beginning in 2013 which meant a new course.  I had run most of them but the 1rst one(I had not yet begun to run), the 13th(case of Triskaidekahobia) and the last 2. Since they changed the location, I decided to try it again and check out the course since I liked the course in Ault Park.  The course for the Reggae Run was a point to point course that started near Sawyer Point Park on Eggleston and finished near the Gazebo in Eden Park.  It was flat for the first mile and and uphill for the last 2 miles.  If you ever ran the Flying Pig Marathon or Flying Pig Half, you are familiar with the climb up Gilbert. Conditions for the run were humid despite the rain earlier in the day. Crowd attendance seemed down from when I last did it on 2010.  Again the post race at Eden Park was terrific as this year I was able to get pizza, subs, grilled cheese, desserts, beer, wine etc. You may have to attend it to just check out the post race.  Also, back was the Ark Band who played on despite the rain after the race.  I may  run it again in 2014 but I will see since there are about 5 other races on the same Saturday that I may need to check out. Race Results.

    Friendship City 5k Race Recap

    The Friendship City 5k Run / Walk raises funds for the City of Erlanger Step Forward program to make Erlanger a more walkable community and connecting people through physical activity. This was the 10th year for the race, and the second time that I ran it(I ran it in 2012). I decided to do this race again at the last minute since Erlanger Ky is about 15 minutes from my home, having not done a race in sometime and the price was good as far as races go in Cincinnati.
     The race started at the Erlanger Branch of the Kenton County Library. They had over 100 runners and walkers. Race Day Registration was $15. If you wanted a shirt, it was an extra 5 dollars. I decided against the shirt.  Course went through the residential areas of Erlanger and was pretty flat. They had one waterstop on the course and the miles were marked but no mile timers. Post race featured bagels from Panera, bananas, water and chocolate milk.  It also featured door prizes during the awards ceremony. Overall, it was a nice casual relaxed race with a flat course. If I need a last minute fix for a race, I may do it again next year.  For race results, visit www.runningtime.net.
