Cure 5K


Personal Best is sponsoring the Cure 5K again this year and we have 4 free entries to the race for PB members! The race is at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 5th.

Several of us ran the group run as a warm-up last year and headed over to the race for a quickie 5K followed by pancakes. This year our group run that morning starts at 7:00 a.m. at Metro - just a little jaunt down 95th to Mission and your are at Cure! Plenty of time to do both.

Free entries are first come first serve - kcrunning@hotmail.com.

Inside Out Run
This weekend's fun run is inspired by a runner who dressed in the dark before a summer run and arrived with her shorts inside out! No names! Coach Amy. To celebrate running for fun and making fun of yourself, wear your running gear inside out or your outsides in! Above picture is a photo from the Jamaica Underwear Run. Please do wear something under the insides, PB doesn't have a permit for us to run solely in our skivvies...yet!

We will be set up for 16 miles in the rolling hills of Shawnee (don't worry there are some flat parts). Run starts at 6:00 a.m. in the strip mall parking lot (a little E of IHOP) at Shawnee Mission Parkway and Lackman. Join us for breakfast at IHOP following the run - usually around 8:30-9:00ish a.m. Map of Course.
