Fall 2009 Schedule Starting to Shape Up
If you're planning on running some of the longer distance races next fall, here are some of the dates that I know about currently:
Saturday, October 10 - Ten For Texas, The Woodlands (Confirmed through a conversation with Willie Fowlkes; Necessary because of a 5-year deal that TW has signed with a golf tournament)
Saturday, October 10 - Huntsville Half Marathon, Huntsville (This date is listed as tentative on the Seven Hills Running Club web site. This race's numbers took a bit of a hit last year when it went head-to-head. If SHSU had its Homecoming that day, it would draw out the conflict. That is, if it has a football game that day. This will be a wait-and-see. The school, though, should know its football schedule already.)
Sunday, October 11 - United Space Alliance, Houston (Two different constituencies run the two 10 milers. Until Ten For Texas offers prize money and lowers its entry fees, the USA 10-Miler will draw the better runners.)
Sunday, October 25 - Koala / Luke's Houston Half Marathon, Houston (I've confirmed this with the Striders leadership.)
Sunday, November 8 - HMSA Classical 25K (The club confirmed this in its December 2008 newsletter.)
Sunday, November 15 - Rock 'N' Roll San Antonio Marathon (This date is what is currently published.)
What isn't set? Rocky Raccoon 25K and 50K. RD Paul Stone doesn't like to conflict with the Huntsville Half Marathon and he was a bit dismayed about the Houston Half Marathon taking the last weekend of the month this past year. If my memory serves me correct, the former Striders leadership was reportedly told by the City that it was that date or else.
