Marathon or 5K, What's It Gonna Be?
Wineglass or Syracuse Festival of Races? That's what's up on Sunday, Oct. 6.
The 21st annual Wineglass Marathon and Merrill Lynch Team Relay is set for 9 a.m., Oct. 6, from Bath to Corning.
Guest speaker: Dick Beardsley, whom you can meet and greet at the race expo, Saturday, Oct. 5 in downtown Corning.
Early deadline registration fees are available until Sept. 15, then the fees rise until race day.It's cheaper to register online ($5 discount!). Go to www.wineglassmarathon.com. Email wineglassrace@aol.com for information.
The Syracuse Festival of Races -- separate 5Ks for men and women, are set for Oct. 6, at Manley Field House, Syracuse University, beginning at 9 a.m. (men's race) and 9:45 a.m. (women's race). There's also a community walk, a 3K fun and fitness run and kid's activities. The 5K courses are fast, and there's plenty of amenities!
Go to www.festivalofraces.com. Or write Dave Oja at 213 Scott Ave., Syracuse, NY 13224.
One event that won't conflict with the two big ones that weekend is
the OctoberFast 5K and 10K in Highland Park in Endwell, which should be
called the "SeptemberFast" this year: it's being held on September 28
instead of the traditional first weekend in October. This is a nice
low-key, family-oriented event that is very well done (and we're not just
saying that because it's one of the very few 5Ks where our assistant
editor ever won the women's overall title- or maybe we are. Check it out
anyway—it's a beautiful drive down there!)
