So this is still going on. The NFL's team of lawyers has asked us for 60 day extensions on three different occasions. It's the gift that keeps on giving!

I have written about the NFL on many occasions on this blog, including their over-protective actions regarding use of the SUPER BOWL® name by others.

It's on in ten minutes in Phoenix on PBS!

For centuries, owls have been featured in children’s books and folk tales capturing imaginations the world over. With their haunting calls and charismatic faces, these birds remain popular but mysterious because it’s rare to catch more than a glimpse of one in the wild. Unlike their cousins, the haw…

Raceplace will soon be posting the results of our fastest team competition. We will also be announcing the "largest team" and "best looking team" awards. Here's a quick re-cap of the team rules that are posted on our website. This is not your traditional "fastest team" competition:
• The team’s top 5 timed finishers in their respective age/gender divisions will be combined for that team’s score (each of the top 5 finishers gets a point for his/her place in age/gender group). Example: a finisher who places 2nd in his or her age/gender group gets 2 points.
• The team with the lowest point total wins.
• Example: A team has 7 members, the top 5 of which finished 1st in the 55-59 female age group in the 5K, 10th in the 70-74 male in the 8K, 25th in the 30-34 male in the 5K, 40th in the 30-34 female in the 5K, and 3rd in the 11-14 male in the 8K. Team score: 79.

If there are more of you, please email [email protected] by 5pm Monday May 11 -- we will be ordering more!!

Night Run

05/09/2015

We're a little busy here at The Night Run headquarters and forgot to post your Feature Friday! Let's call this feature "The Squeeze!" Due to the new dam construction, our course will be constricted around mile 1.5 as you approach Tempe Center for the Arts from the west. The path narrows to two six foot wide openings, so single file is recommended.
