Tuesday nights belong to the Iredell County Fall Race Series
hosted by McLelland Racing Team (MRT). The Series began October 1st and
will end on November 28th with a Thanksgiving Day 10K and each race is
only $10 with an option to buy a series shirt if interested. Short sleeved shirts are $15 (from previous race series) and long sleeved are $25.
All races support a community cause, each unique to the race itself. MRT supports local charities and resources so it's money well spent. Each race takes place in beautiful Iredell County at various community sites.
Locations are listed on the Fall Flyer (Facebook) or in the race listing (RacesOnline).
This race location was Lakewood Park, 800 Lakewood Drive, Statesville, NC and proved to be the setting for quite a few new PRs tonight (myself included!).
The route was a continual series of inclines and declines making it a full challenge to PR here. The Finish Line was at the far end of the park as you can see on the map leaving the last .15 mile completely in the dark this time of year. A headlamp is next on my running gear list.
The water stop for this race was at the Finish Line. The course was well marked and the Club leader continually rode through on his bicycle to ensure safety and course directions. I suspect a few more volunteers were needed tonight but nothing lacked in spite of their absence.
I now have 5 shirts: Spring Series (gray tech SS unisex) Summer Series (neon yellow tech SS, men's and women's), Breast Cancer Awareness (neon pink tech LS) and my newest purchase, Fall Series (neon green tech LS).
Hi. My name is Tracy. I am a shirtaholic.
