A Weekend For Multi Taskers

Thanks to our wonderful "Spring" weather, the calendar of events for running have tended to be in places warm and free of snow.  This weekend, however, offers a "feast" of options both locally and nationally. The annual Drake Relays are being held in Iowa along with the Penn Relays on the East Coast in Philadelphia. Info on the Drake Relays is HERE, Penn Relays homepage is HERE.

On Friday, starting at 5:30 PM, the Hamline Elite Meet is back at the Klas Field track.  Info on the meet is available HERE.  On Saturday, the road running version of the Spring Opener, the Get in Gear races, begin with the 2K at 8 AM at  Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis  Race info is HERE. Three Team USA Minnesota runners are entered: Andrew Carlson, Jon Grey, and McKenzie Melander.  The Get in Gear 10K is the Minnesota RRCA Championship race for 2013.

On Sunday several Minnesotans will run in the Payton Jordan Invitational track meet at Stanford.  Info for that meet is HERE. Minnesotans on the entry list as of Thursday were Ben Blankenship, Hassan Mead, Garrett Heath, Elliott Heath, Rob Finnerty, Andrew Larsen, John Simons, Jonathan Peterson, Meghan Peyton, and Jamie Cheever
