Green Bay Marathon is tomorrow! Good luck to everyone running in the race. Will be chilly at the start, ~40 degrees, but should nicely rise up into the 50’s during the race. This is perfect for the marathon. No rain in the forecast, which is awesome.

Just a week away from the Green Bay Marathon. Caught this interesting piece from Fox11. Apparently, there will be a field of 52 elite runners, competing for a $20,000 prize purse.

There are still a few spots available in the full marathon and 5k races, so not too late to sign up, and run on Lambeau Field!

Recycling a priority at Green Bay Marathon

According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, recycling will be a priority at the upcoming Green Bay Marathon. They will make an effort to separate plastic water bottles from the rest of the trash generated. This continues a trend towards ‘green‘ racing.

The May 17 Cellcom Green Bay Marathon will continue last year’s effort to separate plastic bottles from all other garbage, said Sean Ryan, race director.

“Running events do not have a very significant carbon footprint, outside of all the people driving to the start and finish, and there’s only so many things we can do to address that,” he said. “What we can address is the trash that’s generated on site at the event.”

Congrats to everyone who completed the Great Saunter 2009, in New York City, organized by the Shore Walkers. The Great Saunter is a 32 mile walk around the perimeter of Manhattan, with rest stops along the way. Looks like a lot of fun. The Shore Walkers organize walks year-round in the New York metropolitan area. Check it out!

Saw this great article on Asheville at Cleveland.com. Asheville is a very fun place, and one of the most spectacular outdoor mountain communities in the southern US. Contains a wonderful summary of:

Places to hang out
Places to hang out and eat
Places to hang out, drink and maybe listen to some tunes
Things to do
Things to plan a visit around

Highlight is definitely Bele Chere:

Bele Chere, Asheville’s annual music, food and street festival, has taken over downtown for three summer days for the past 30 years. This year’s 31st Bele Chere (pronounced bell share) features entertainment on four stages and is spread over the last weekend in July, Friday through Sunday, July 24-26.
