Race Recap By Felica Neal:

Best day ever! I had a absolutely wonderful time at Tuscazoar Raw Trail Race. Thank you Jeremey Followay at Race Brimstone for an amazing race! You do a great job! The race was so well organized and you have wonderful passion for ultras. My favorite part was the river crossing and the stocked aid stations! All the bacon!!! I had a fantastic time running with Lisa Keane and having Josh Keane as our lifeguard and cheerleader. You both made me feel extremely special for my Birthday! I will definitely participate in this race again. I got 1st place in my age group!

Race Recap By Lisa Keane:

Looking for a little “extra”? This is the race for you! The race director took all the challenges Tuscazoar has to offer and combined them into one race then added in a whole river crossing!
Inaugural race – love the logo! Amazing swag included soft Short sleeve tee, rawhide finishers medal, and cattle ear tag bib that could be permanently added to your vest (yes, please) as a souvenir!
Distance options for all abilities
Top notch aid stations and volunteers.
The OA awards were amazing – laser etched stone! I need to run FASTER!
Best part was running this with Felicia Neal on her HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Can’t wait to do it again next year!

Overall Place:  13th Place / 177

Race Recap By Nancy Wardell:

This morning I ran the McWane Iron Strong for Wellness 5K in Coshocton, Ohio. I really enjoyed this race and it went through the camp ground area and around the lake which was very pretty and all the turns were very clearly marked with arrows. I really liked the quick dry towel that was included and the shirt was also a quick dry material and very well made. I was super excited to finish second female overall and first in my age group with a total time of 26:00 and pace of 8:22! Great weather and another great race in the books!

Tusky Days 5K

Tuscarawas, Ohio

Felicia Neal

Finish Time:  26:22

Overall Place:  3rd Place Overall Female

Race Recap By Felicia Neal:

Today I ran Tusky Days 5k in Tuscarawas Ohio. It was a bit confusing on where to go for packet pick up. My registration mentioned it was at the firehouse but didn’t reference an address and there where no signs to direct you where to go. The firehouse ended up being half mile from the starting line and you had to walk around it to find check in. There I received my tshirt and they did not use bibs. Once the race started it was an out and back down a scenic country road. Once I crossed the finish line my time was yelled out and I received a popsicle stick with a number. I then I had to go to a volunteer with a clip board and turned in my popsicle stick. Later they went through the times and places. I was 3rd overall female and received a nice plaque. Now that I know how it works I might do it again, maybe, it was very interesting.

Canton, Ohio

Lori Fritz

Finish Time:  29:37

Overall Place:  221st Place / 495

Division Place:  4th Place / 13

Race Recap By Lori Fritz:

This morning I volunteered for race day check-in for the Training Camp 5k. I actually enjoy doing this because I get to see and interact with the running community a little more.
This was my first time running this one, and I really enjoyed the course. I really like sections that do out and back because it is fun to cheer others on.
It’s not my best time, as I’m still nursing a hamstring issue, but I still had a great time!
Honestly, the Run to You Racing crew do a great job!

Team ER won the team division at the race.

Race Recap By Lisa Keane:

What’s better than a weekend trail race – a weekend trail race w/ pups!
Grab your pup and choose your distance – one 5 mile loop or two on a (mostly) run-able grass / trail / gravel well marked course.
This race supports the humane society who were on site w/ adoptable feline friends!
Nice swag & medals (pups get a special medal too)!
Snacks for human and pup athletes including SNOW CONES!
Overall awards and age division awards – congratulations to TEAM ER for their 1st place team award and to all of my TEAM ER teammates – everyone placed this weekend!

Race Recap By Terri Bednar:

Saturday I ran the Muddy Paws 10-miler Pine Hollow. They had options for 5k, 5 miler or 10 miler. It was a fun course! I did this race last year but this year the course went the opposite direction so felt like there were more hills. (Builds character! ) with the addition of the 5k option, parking was a little squirrely. (Note to self, arrive earlier next time). Packet pickup was super easy and there were plenty of bathrooms. They even had a van from humane society and you could take home a pet! Great race and I came in 3rd in my age group! I’ll be back for sure!

Race Recap By Veronica Neubert:

The course was reversed from the past 2 times I’ve done this. It was hot and my mouth was dry right away … not a good start. I was 3rd female for the first 3 miles and finished 5th female overall for the 5 miles (first in my age group) I did not come home with a kitten this time (even though they were SO cute!) Congratulations to Team ER for finishing first in teams and Josh, Lisa, and Terri for each placing in their age groups for the 10 miles. This is not an easy race! Way to go team!

Cleopatra Sirnic Clifford

Race Recap By Steve Zenar:

I had a wonderful morning running the Around The Beach 5K at Munroe Falls Metro Park. The weather was absolutely perfect — such a refreshing break after a week of heavy humidity.
I set out hoping to beat my 5K personal best, and even with the rolling course, the downhill segments gave me just enough kick. Proud to say I finished in 23:35 at a 7:37/mile pace.  It only earned me 4th in my age group today, but I’ll take the PR any day.

The Tree Farm 5K Magnolia, Ohio

Nancy Wardell

Finish Time:  37:44

Overall Place:  12th Place

Division Place 3rd Place Overall Female

Felicia Neal

Finish Time:  41:23

Overall Place:  14th Place

Division Place: N/A

Race Recap By Nancy Wardell:

I completed the Tree Farm 5k in Magnolia this morning with fellow Team-ER member Felicia Neal! This race is very low key, but has crazy hills and definitely hotter weather with a starting time almost at 10am! There wasn’t an award ceremony and only the top two male and female finishers were given a small wooden plaque when they finished the race. Everyone just left when they finished. I wanted to complete this one because it was a DNF for me two years ago when I left after a mile because of an emergency. I finished today with a total time of 37:44 and actually finished 3rd female overall. So sad there wasn’t awards for at least the top three, but at least this race is finished!

Race Recap By Felicia Neal:

2nd race of the day was the Tree Farm 5k with my fellow ER teammate Nancy Wardell and some of my lovely running friends. It was a lovely race through Pine Crest Tree Farm in Magnolia. I finished in 14th place. think.

Race Recap By Felicia Neal:

1st race of the day was Rocket Run 5k! Lori Fritz and I volunteered and checked in our fellow runners! This race is one of my favorites! The RD is extremely organized and passionate. After volunteering I ran the 5k and got 2nd Overall Female!

Race Recap By Lori Fritz:

I volunteered and then ended up running (mostly) the Rocket Run this morning with teammate Felicia Neal. The course is a nice mix of asphalt and gravel roads that wind through the countryside. I had a little bit of trouble with the gravel sliding my feet out from under me, but my hamstring seemed to have held up nicely!!A big bonus were the shady spots! And one of the residents put out extra water along the route for the participants! Very thoughtful show of support by the Connoton Valley community!!
This event is well organized and very enjoyable with plenty of snacks at water and/or Gatorade at the finish!
Thank you for a great morning!!

Race Recap By John Fabianich McClay:

This weekend, Western Reserve Racing hosted their two-day Summer Sasquatch event. On Saturday, participants had a choice of three events: a 10-mile loop, a 20-mile loop, and a 50k. Sunday’s event featured a single 10-mile loop. I competed in both days, opting for the 50k on Saturday and the 10-mile loop on Sunday. The course was well-marked, with two aid stations and ample parking. On Saturday, around mile 25, a heavy downpour occurred. Despite the weather, I finished 10th overall and 1st in my age group. Sunday’s 10-mile loop was unfortunately a muddy mess due to the previous night’s rain, and I finished 12th and 2nd in my age group. Congratulations to all participants who finished.

Race Recap By Terri Bender:

This weekend I participated in the Summer Sasquatch 20 mile race in Salt Fork State park. There was also a 10 mile and 50k option. It was a beautiful course and very technical with a lot of hills and rough terrain. Directions to the race start were perfect. Packet pickup was super organized and the aid stations were great. They had snow cones which were perfect with the heat. My only complaint is that there wasn’t any real food at the end, just snacks. I ended up placing 2nd in my AG. I will do this race again. Maybe the 50k next year !

Race Recap By Lisa Keane:

One of my favorite Ohio trails – Salt Fork offers all of the elevation, water crossings, & obstacles with scenic lake views.
Late spring rains brought some fun mud this year!
Nice swag – love the soft themed short sleeve t-shirts and matching finishers medal.
Overall and age group awards – Congratulations to all of my Team ER teammates! Everyone placed this weekend!

Race Recap By Lynett McClay:

Summer sasquatch is a 2 day event. You can run sat for a 50k, 20 miler or 10 miler or sunday just 10 miles. Due to a lit of rain this spring made things a little more tricky. Lots of mud puddles and mud. Excellent scenery around Salt Fork Lake.
