This Week in Middle TN Running

A longtime friend, Chuck Hargrove, sends out a weekly running events email. I thought I'd pass it along.



Tuesday 9/2
5:15 p.m. Percy Warner Park David Harris dharris@harriselectricsupply.com sends this invitation: "The group I run with meets on Tuesdays in Percy Warner park at 5:15 either at DeepWells (Mossy Ridge/Yellow Trail/ White Trail trailhead), the Nature Center on Hwy 100, or at the Harpeth Hills Golf Course parking lot. Our leader (Mike Kozel) sends an email in the morning suggesting a particular run. We generally run trails when the days are longer (April - September) and roads in the months with shorter days. Other runners are welcome. The best method for anyone interested would probably be just to send an emai l to me inquiring about the Run Du Jour if interested. Thanks." David

5:30 p.m. Athlete's House 1700 Portland Avenue Nashville: seven miles of CMM course. Make sure and register your mileage with Athlete's House. Free t-shirts are given at 50- and 100-mile levels.
