Summer Swing 2017 Starts May 2!

Looking for something fun to do this summer? Come join us for the Summer Swing 5K series, starting on May 2nd and running through August 1st. Details are in the link to the right "Click here for run details". Cost is a measly $10 for the whole series,or $1 per run if you want to go that route. Eighteen and under, free. Can't beat that! I'll provide further details within the next week or two. Meanwhile make plans to come out and join us. This 5K series is for all runners or walkers of any fitness level. Our normal attendance has been 30 to 40 runners per week, but it has grown every year, so who knows? This will be our 14th summer (I think) but I may have to do a little research to confirm that. Sounds about right! Email me at durunforfun@yahoo.com, text or call at 334-524-5021 if you have any questions. More information soon. See you in a few weeks, Doug

It's a Wrap - Season 2016 in the Books

It's been a great SS series - we've had wonderful participation and I don't think anyone has enjoyed it more than me! We had 195 different runners take part this year. That's a heap of people. We had one perfect attendance - Bill Lacy - who finally achieved that PR he has been looking for, on the very last run. Congratulations, Bill! We had 4 people who missed only one run - Allen and Cameo Sabey, Shane Newsome, and Kermit Davis. Kim White only missed two runs. All of you did well and it was a pleasure to see you week after week. Again, much thanks to the Boone family. They are the ones who brought the oranges and cookies week after week. Evelyn, oldest daughter, helped me at the finish line for many of the runs. A big thank you to Alvin Walls as well, who missed the last few weeks with a health issue, but is doing better, I hear. Missed you, my friend, and hope to see you back next year. Also, thanks again to Bob Banks and Summer Vaughan for covering for me while I was on vacation. That's about it for now, except for the results of today's run. Hope to see all of you soon. It's been fun! Doug
