RCGC National Trail Day Recap in Greater Cincinnati
The Runners' Club of Greater Cincinnati celebrated with a trail run at French Park for National Trails Day. Held the First Saturday in June, National Trails Day is a celebration of America's Great Trail System. There were more than 1500 events nationwide and the RCGC Run at French Park was one of the them.
About 10 of us met at the shelter at the top of the hill. I had not been to French Park since the RCGC Cross Country Series was last held there in 2000. RCGC Vice President Laura Wagner led the runners on run through the trails which featured a few Creek Crossings. Since I was one of the slower people, I got separated from the group and made a left when I should have made a right. Needless to say, I ended up on the a large portion of the old RCGC Cross Country Course. I ran that at least one time and headed back up to the top of the hill via the main road. Afterwards, the club provided water, pop, fruit, doughnuts, and cookies for post run refreshment. Thanks to Laura for leading the runners and making sure that all got back safely.

National Running Day Recap in Cincinnati
The Runners' Club of Greater Cincinnati joined with the UC Running Club to celebrate National Running Day in Cincinnati. National Running Day was an opportunity to promote running as a healthy safe form of exercise. Both groups met at the Oval at Mount Airy Forest where runners could do either trail runs or run the open road. Most opted to do the trail despite the rain for the past two days. I opted for the road. A few people took wrong turns on both the trail and the roads, but everybody got back to the shelter. The UC Running Club had a grill out to celebrate the end of the year and the RCGC brought water, pop and fruit. I heard that the trails despite a few muddy spots were in pretty good condition and a few runners did the steps. A special thank you goes to Tim Kling. Tim guided the runners on the trail. Although no timers were present Tim may have set a new PR as in his words "that was the fastest that I ran in a long time".

As I was looking at the Enquirer sports page, this past weekend I noticed a brief blurb in the corner about an area of Cincinnati.com dedicated to running. It is called Runners High. It will have calendars, and gives runners a chance to post feedback about various local races like Memorial Day Race XXXIII, what causes runners currently run for, another race calendar and much more.

Thank you Mile 22 Waterstop Volunteers
The club would like to thank the volunteers for doing a terrific job at the Mile 22 Waterstop aka the Crest Smile Mile. Because of them, the Marathon was another success. Many long time volunteers commented that it was the most successful mile 22 waterstop in some time. There were numerous compliments about the job that they did. The best one that I heard was can they come back next year as they all were terrific whether they were handing out water, cheering or inspiring runners to keep running.
If you have any comments, suggestions, and thoughts about how we can do better next year, please let me know whether for the waterstop or the Flying Pig in general.
Again, great job.
