This weekend is full of short distance road races being contested by the Nike Fleet Feet Racing Team from Huntsville.
Headlining the weekend is Jon Elmore who will be in Hot-lanta for the Peach Tree Road Race hosted by the Atlanta Track Club. This race draws more than 50,000 participants each year and according to Active.com, is the largest road race in the United States. Here is a link to that feature article.
In Murray, Kentucky, Christy Scott will be racing the Freedom Fest 5km. This lollipop style course starts and ends at the Primary Care Medical Center in Murray.
In Gladstone, Michigan, Eric Charette will be racing the annual Firecracker 5 Miler. This looped course runs through the streets of Gladstone and along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
Back in Huntsville, Alabama, Fleet Feet is a sponsor of the Firecracker 5km, which is certain to draw some team members as well.
Good luck to the entire team in where ever your fleet feet take you this weekend, racing or otherwise!

This Weekend
This weekend is the annual Spirit of America 5 miler in Decatur, Alabama. This race is hosted by the River City Runners and the timing is provided by Nike Fleet Feet Racing's Jon Elmore and Eric Schotz. This is a Fleet Feet sponsored event that features a staggered start based on age/gender grading which makes it a very unique race where it doesn't always come down to the fastest time. Last year our own Marty Clarke was 2nd overall. As the only race in town this weekend, there are sure to be many team members out in full force! Come on out to watch tomorrow morning at Point Mallard Park.

Weekend Results
This Nike Fleet Feet Racing team from Huntsville had a very successful weekend from Tennessee to Wisconsin to Colorado to Alabama.
In Alabama, Jon Elmore was the overall winner at the Hoedown Hustle 5km on Saturday with a time of 17:52 in Phil Campbell, Alabama. That marks at least 4 wins if not more for Jon this season.
In Florence, Wisconsin, Eric Charette won the inaugural Keyes Peak Trail Marathon in a time of 3:19:58. The course featured a river crossing at mile 18 where runners could either swim the deep section or make their way downstream to the shallow river crossing. Being the first one to the crossing and not knowing the depth of the water, Eric chose the swim in the fast current and rapids. After a few strokes, he floated down to the roped run cross!

In Lake City, Colorado, team members Rob Youngren, Kathy Youngren and Josh Kennedy tackled the brutally tough San Juan Solstice 50 miler. The entire race is run above 8500', with two climbs that ascend from 9000' to 13000'. Early reports back from Josh were that Rob and Kathy finished in 13:28 and Josh in 13:51. In Josh's words, "Mile for mile, toughest course I have ever been on!"
