Racing Ahead
Who is racing? This weekend, lots of familiar faces will be in races in far off places. Bill, Steph, Melissa, Dave P. and Jane P. will be running in or supporting the Maui Marathon, Half Marathon or 5K. They might even catch some sun and drink a couple of beverages on the beach. I don’t mind saying that I am officially jealous. This race will add another notch in Bill’s 50 marathons in 50 states. ThoseJennifer is running in the Fox City Half Marathon in

You don’t have to go that far to find a race this weekend. The Third Annual AAC Run for the Children will be in Pleasant Prairie on Saturday. This is an easy 5K. If you’re the type that wouldn’t bother lacing up your shoes for a mere 5K, you can try the Wind Lake Chamber Chase 10K, which is in Wind Lake, WI, less than an hour from Racine.

If you’re more of the “Run-Bike-Run” type, you have two good opportunities this weekend to catch a duathlon. The Duathlon of Dreams is an easier race with a 2 mile run, 11 mile bike and a 2 mile run. It is inAnother option is the Dousman Du. This is about 1 hour and 30 minutes away. While it does not raise funds for a noble cause, it does feature pancakes at the finish line. What more could a hungry athlete ask for?
