Meet Info Sheet to come
Columbus Marathon Water Stop
Hello everyone! I am posting an official event for this but be sure to actually sign up on the Columbus Marathon website
The Columbus Marathon is sponsored by Nationwide Children's Hospital and is kind enough to support us as a running club with discounted registrations so please help pay them back, or pay it forward and support a great cause and all of the kiddos at Nationwide Children's by volunteering for a water stop! The Bradley Hall water stop is right on OSU's campus and there are currently on 20 more spots left. If you aren't racing this is an awesome opportunity to give to something greater than yourself!
Please forward all questions to Matt Newman.

Please check out this document for some inside info on the Columbus Marathon. Also, sign up for a carpool if you want.
Running Club Game Night
Join us at the Wholesome House (184 E Oakland) on Sunday after the Marathon for a game night at 7:00pm. We already have a few games including Jackbox games. However, if you really want to play something you are free to bring it.
NIRCA XC Regionals
"Post-Season" racing is here! Our next meet is NIRCA Regionals. The meet is Saturday, November 2nd. Below you will find the meet signup and carpool sheet. The deadline to fill out the sheet is next Thursday, October 24th @ 11:59PM. This will be an overnight meet with a minimal gas and hotel fee since it is in Shelbyvlle, IN.
A few important notes for this meet:
- To sign up for this meet, you must have signed the NIRCA Eligibility Form that Owen passed around at practice last week.
- This is a NIRCA Nationals qualifying meet. In order to run at Nationals in mid-November, you must run at least one of two NIRCA meet this season. Our first NIRCA meet was AkRUN. Therefore, if you would like to run Nationals and have not run AkRUN, you must sign up for this meet. You do not have to hit a certain qualifying time to run Nationals; you just have to finish the race.
- If you have not run AkRUN already, you will have some things to complete for NIRCA. Once I sign you up for the meet, you will receive an email saying you need to complete a NIRCA waiver. If you are new to running club, you will receive an additional email before the waiver email having you set up a NIRCA account. Please check your email and spam boxes if necessary and complete these ASAP.
- If you need to drop from the meet, please remove yourself from the sheet before it closes. If you need to drop after next Thursday, you will still be responsible for paying the gas/hotel fee. If you do not stay in the hotel the night before and have not let us know in advance, you will still be responsible for the gas/hotel fee.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Greg Antonini at 567-377-5583.
