Reminder of Carmel race on Sunday

I did a post on this a few weeks ago, here is a reminder of what I put up here regarding the Carmel Running Club inaugural event for a very good cause. Several Marist athletes will be there to support the event:

The inaugural 5K in Support of Jimmy B & LIFSHD will be held on Oct. 10 (10.10.10!) at Putnam County Veterans Memorial Park in Carmel. It is a cross-country style race, with "some uneven grounds with some rocky terrain," according to the application. There is also a walk and a kids' fun run. It will be chip-timed and it extremely well organized by the Carmel Running Club. Sounds great!

The proceeds of the race will benefit a good friend of the (Kelley) Goulds' 19-year-old son, who is battling a genetic form of muscular dystrophy called FSHD. Jimmy B's parents are both Marist alums, as are the Goulds!

While our athletes cannot compete in this race as per NCAA rules, it is my hope that many of us will get out to Carmel to support this effort.

You can register for the event online at getmeregistered.com. If you want a copy of the race application, you can email me at runhed246@hotmail.com and I'll forward it to you.
