It is perfect for just a run or training for an early fall marathon.  Other races include the Marsh Madness 10K at Howard Marsh Metropark on June 20, Oak Openings Stampede 5K and 25K races at Oak Openings Metropark on September 13 and Falling Leaves 5K and 8 Mile races at Secor Metropark on October 25.  Once registration opens for these other three events, a discount option will be offered if you sign up for all four events at the same time.  If you are planning to do this, please wait to register.
