Park Point 5-Miler Race Report

Race Day: Friday, June 18, 2014 – 6:30pm The Park Point 5-Miler is a cool race that I had done once before. It is a pancake flat out-and-back course where you can really let ‘er rip and race like a 5k. It’s always really competitive, too, so it is fun to see how you stack […]
