March is here and it’s starting to feel like spring! We kicked this month off strong with the Laliik race last weekend! We got more races coming up this month and into April and Mountain March has begun this week! We’ll be getting our mountain climbing legs ready for all the upcoming adventures!
MARCH SCHEDULE
MOUNTAIN MARCH HAS BEGUN
We kicked off Mountain March this morning! We’re at Badger Mountain Skyline Trailhead off Dallas this week for the TRAINING classes and the KIDS and SKILLS will remain at Columbia Point by the bridge where we will also be doing a lot of hill work this month. Then we’ll be finishing off with The Descension workout April 1-6. For the latest updates go to obstaclecircuit.com/schedule
SPRING RUN COACHING SERIES
Our Spring Run Coaching Series begins in less than two weeks! We’ll be doing a major focus on form and injury prevention. 4 weeks of classes starting March 18th on Mondays at 6 PM. Find out more and get registered at obstaclecircuit.com/runcoaching
RICHLAND RUNFEST AND LALIIK RECAP
The last two weekends we got to get our racing legs moving! Richland RunFest was so great getting to see so many of our local running community. Also seeing so many people get personal records and take on new distances for the first time! Then only one week later we took on the Laliik race at Rattlesnake Slopes! Such a great way to kick off Mountain March climbing those tough trails. It was not an easy race with the cold and wind, but we got it done! So grateful for Runners of the Rage putting on such a great event as always!
UPCOMING RACES
There’s even more races coming up this month and into the spring! On St. Patrick’s Day we’ll be doing the St. Patrick’s Day Foot Race 5k. This will be a great one for the kids to join. There is a 10k option available as well. Run it fast or just enjoy a little mileage with us!
Then Badger Mountain Challenge on March 22-23! I will not be participating in the ultra distances this year. I have an obstacle course race coming up that takes priority, but I know a lot of people that are racing those longer distances. So I’ll be volunteering Friday. If you’re racing those I hope to see you out there. Saturday I will be doing the 15k and would love to see lots of people join us out there!
If you’re not racing any of these events consider volunteering. These are great community events and they need all the help they can get! Contact us for details to volunteer and let’s continue to make our running community in Tri-Cities the best around!
March 16th – St. Patrick’s Day Foot Race 5k and 10k
March 22-23 – Badger Mountain Challenge
