This Wednesday will be unlike any other - except, that is, for the last time we visited the swimming pool area at the Quality Inn on Steinwehr Ave. We’ll have the big pool at our disposal - yeah, for swimming - as well as general leisurely adjacent relaxing with frosty beverages, post-run. Perfect for the first week in August? You bet. Heck, there’s even a place to change into your swim gear with complimentary towels. The beers will be provided by the on-site, poolside bartender, on loan from the nearby Reliance Mine Saloon. (The Inn and the ‘Mine, you'll recall, are owned and operated by Nate and Laura, longtime GBR participants and generous benefactors.) In addition to a fine beer selection, they’ll be featuring imported pizza as well. You may be wondering what we've done to deserve such largesse. Don't worry about that - just get in on it! |
We will start the evening from the Quality parking lot. It’s the same one that abuts the Mine entrance, if that helps. Pro tip: Park for free behind the Heritage Center, across the street and stroll on over.
Our course: A tried-and-true three-miler we've often employed on those dark and chilly nights leading to the Reliance Mine. Urban and easy.
Oh, and one more thing: a chance to purchase some nifty summertime swag from our good friends over at the great LK5K!
Traditional start is 6:30.
Early birds and walkers at 6:00
Over the years, our two start times of 6 and 6:30 have evolved nicely into two separate waves, a good deal for us and for our hosts. If you’re walking or just like to get going early, plan to leave at 6. If you’re old school, we roll out at 6:30. The objective is to get to the bar, no questions asked.
