If you are feeling like you shouldn’t join us for our training runs because you haven’t been able to make it on Saturdays, have become injured, or are satisfied with you current accomplishment, we still want you to be a part of our training!  Remember Team Aspire is not about competing with others on the team, it is about being with a group of people that are fun, supportive, and have individual and unique personal goals.   Whatever that goal, the team is there to support and cheer for you. 

 

Just a reminder if you don’t feel like you can or want to run the entire Harrisburg Marathon, there is the relay.  This year the marathon will be split into 4 fairly equal distances (i.e., 6.5 miles).  Last year Team Aspire had several relay teams. 

 

This weekend we will run Conewago trail -13 miles.  The link to the Conewago trail is below….straight out for 6.5 miles (we will connect to the Lebanon Valley Trail) and back .  Remember this is a great trail for bikes in case you have family that would like to join you/us  This is also a great route for anyone running the Harrisburg Half Marathon next Sunday (September 11th) because you can easily shorten your distance on the trail so you are well rested for the Harrisburg Half. 

 

I am in need of volunteers to man the water stations (2 please).

Please meet at 6:45 at the parking lot at the trail head located off of Route 230.  If you are not familiar with this area, directions are below.

 

If you are coming from Route 283, take the Toll House Road/Route 230 Exit.  Follow Route 230 East for slightly over 2 miles.  The “Plant Place” and a boarded up Getty gas station will be on your left-adjacent is the parking lot to the trail.  The parking lot is not very large, but we can park at the Getty gas station-or on the grass along the road.

 

For future planning  (because I still need hydration volunteers), most of our upcoming runs will be in the downtown and HACC area.
