Below is a list of the upcoming run/walk events for July 2010. As you can see, July is a very busy month and offers plenty of opportunities to get out there and get fit. It is going to be a hot month so please be aware of the increased risk of heat related issues while exercising outdoors. Your body will need plenty of extra fluid to replenish what is being lost through sweat. Remember to listen to your body, slow down when you need to, and get lots of rest. Hope to see you out there on the road this coming month!


7/3/10 - White Mills Days 5K, White Mills, KY (between Leitchfield and Elizabethtown)

7/3/10 - Independence Day 5K, White House, TN

7/3/10 - Lakefest 10/5K Run/Walk, Jamestown, KY

7/9/10 - Freedom 5K Run/Walk, Grayson Co Middle School

7/10/10 - Trooper Island Sunset Run, Bowling Green-Warren Co. Airport - Ran this race a few years ago and I remember it being hot and seeming to take forever to run it (probably because of the heat). The race starts in the evening around sunset and is one of the flattest courses you will run in this area. This is a big event and usually draws a lot of participation.

7/10/10 - Magnolia 5K, Rough River Dam State Resort Park

7/10/10 - Hilliard Lyons Health & Fitness Classic, Owensboro, KY

7/17/10 - Freedom 5K Run and Walk, North Warren Elementary School in Smiths Grove, KY - My wife and I ran this race last year and are signing up to run again this year. It is a nice level course and did not have a large number of participants last year. This would be a great race to attempt your first 5K, if you have never done one before.

7/24/10 - Summersville Day 2-mile Run and 1-mile Walk, Greensburg, KY

7/24/10 - Run for the Vision 5K, Bonnieville, KY
