***Open 10-7 M-F, 10-6 Saturday and 12-5 on Sunday *** Running and Walking Friends:
The weather turned from chilly and gray to sunny and warm this past weekend and folks were breaking out the shorts, bikes, skateboards and sunglasses. This time of year, weather changes quickly, so everyone enjoyed the nice weekend.
Saturday was the first ever Shamrock 4 Mile Run/Walk put on by the Tipperrary Hill Neighborhood Association. Over 900 people registered for this first time event, a truly amazing turnout. Participants were rewarded with a great atmosphere, a challenging course, great organization and a beautiful day overlooking the city. Photos and Results from the event are now posted.

A panel of runners just like you will be providing tips on how to best meet your goals. On the panel will be Tim Rosbrook, Val Sargrad, Brendan Jackson and Denise Clark.

Give Back to the Running and Walking Community by Volunteering We all love to participate in a well-organized and well-executed race. In order to make things run smoothly, though, race directors often need many volunteers. These volunteers can be hard to come by, and without them the quality of the events can suffer. This summer, Fleet Feet will be organizing a volunteer group to help out at races: The Fleet Feet Volunteer Squad sponsored by Asics and Trapper's Pizza Pub in DeWitt.
In exchange for volunteering at two of the races on our Volunteer Squad Race Schedule below, you will receive a free Asics technical shirt and a party at 4:30 on August 20 at Trapper's with great prize giveaways from Asics and Fleet Feet. Volunteers can bring family members to the party at a price of $5 each. Volunteer Squad Race Schedule (more events may be added soon):
Volunteer to give back to the local running and walking community today by calling Fleet Feet at 315.446.1444 or by e-mailing FFvolunteer@hotmail.com .
High School Running Scene by David Riccardi As it is probably no surprise to anyone, Fayetteville-Manlius won the Nike Indoor National 4 x mile relay in Maryland this weekend. The team's time, 17:33, was a Section 3 and meet record and the fastest time in the nation this year. According to a poster on a Dyestat.com forum, Tommy Gruenewald ran a 4:17 spilt, Owen Kimple and John Heron each ran 4:22, and Geoff King ran a 4:32 leg. FM also came in 3rd in the distance medley relay. Video Link courtesy of Dyestat - Results
