Foot Rx Grand Prix Series – 2011 – Asheville, NC
Attention runners, it’s that time again. The 3rd Annual Foot Rx Grand Prix Series is just around the corner.
This is an Asheville classic that ramps up mid summer and continues until runners strap on a headlamp for the grand finale at the end of October at Montreat. It’s nine races that ditch the pavement in favor of dirt, mulch, grass, gravel and a little bit of mud here and there. Each race starts at 6:30 PM. Cost is $15 per race or you can buy in to the entire series for just $75. Here’s the schedule:
July 21st Event #1 – 5k @ The Asheville School

The masters category does start at 50. Works for me. I think they must have done away with age group awards because of the number of participants they can get on a weeknight. There was a small turn out for the first one, only 27. I didn’t know who was running in front of me and I tried to stay close for much too long. I found out later it was David Workman. Big mistake for me. It was a fun race. I love running through the woods.
So Dennis – it looks like there are no age group awards this year. Is that your impression?
Yes, it looks like it’s just the tails of the curve (under 18, 50+ and 70+).
