For most Americans, Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer... for Triangle-area runners, it signifies the start of 5K Season. On Saturday, you can choose from Raleigh's Finest 5K (Raleigh, 9AM - benefits the NC Fallen Firefighter's Association), the North Hills 5K (Raleigh, 9AM), or the Golf Club 5K/10K (Rocky Mount, 8:15AM). There's also an AlleyCat Race at 1PM, and we have at least two teammates competing in the Blue Ridge Relay. So, GOOD LUCK to everyone who is racing, the rest of us will be banking some miles for Houston. I'm just looking forward to not running in a monsoon!
So, for World Record Friday, the longest distance run by a relay team is 1923-miles (3096K). This record was set by the Gillette Phenomenal Tour over a 14 day period (9/21-10/5 2009). And y'all totally need to watch this, it's hilarious (thank you Berry):
I'm also timing the "Mebane on the Move 5k/10k" tomorrow morning in....Mebane.
