Weekly Update July 23

Weekly Update: July 23 Edition

I'll be posting weekly updates on the website until Race Day (September 12!) draws near! Keep checking back to stay in the know on 5k On The Farm!

We're up to ___6___ registrants for the run! Hey, it's a start! Right now, there are three people signed up for Virtual Run and three signed up for 5K. No one signed up for the 1-Mile course yet... If you've been thinking about signing up, please go ahead and do so! Don't wait until the last minute because in the last week the price goes up five dollars! You want to get a deal, right? So, do it now! Click the RunSignUp link over there in the side bar, or click on the SignUp! tab above! :)

Running in the USA
With our race being on RunSignUp, we were automatically posted on the Running in the USA website! So, that's cool.  Running in the USA is a website I check frequently when looking for races, especially in places I'm traveling to. It was kind of surreal to see my race on their website, but very cool!

Race Bibs
Race Bibs have been ordered and are expected to arrive no later than July 31. For you three Virtual Runners who have already registered: once I get the bibs in and the t-shirts printed, I'll begin mailing out your race packets. I'm meeting with a t-shirt printing place today to get started on that process.

FACEBOOK: 5K On The Farm has it's own Facebook page AND a Facebook Event. Our Page is up to 97 "likes"-- just a few people away from 100! If you haven't yet, get on there and "like" the page. That way you won't miss any info about the run. Then, while you're on FB anyway, make sure you join the official 5K On The Farm Facebook Event!

Maroon and Gold Fun Run
If you're in the Hi-Line, MT area and love to run just like I do, you'll want to sign up for the Maroon and Gold Fun Run in Havre on August 22. They're offering 1-Mile, 5K and 10K distances. Proceeds will support the first ever MSU-Northern Cross Country Teams! They're just getting a program up and running, so this is a fundraiser event for them. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do the 10K, and I'll be there handing out info about the 5K On The Farm! Here's a link to their website, where you can download registration forms and read more info: Maroon and Gold Fun Run
