Final Race in Masters/LDR GP Series This Weekend
We are very excited to see our LDR and Masters members come out and participate in our Association Championships.  We had a great turnout this last Saturday (10/18) at the Fast Pace 5K in Cumming, Georgia.  The weather was beautiful, crisp and cool, the course was fast, fast, fast, and if you were lucky, you got to run with Frank Shorter!

GP Standings are now posted and we have some close races for the cash prizes to be awarded at the grand finale - the Dalton Red Carpet Half Marathon on 10/25/14 in Dalton, GA.  This final race will determine the outcome of overall GP winners. Don't miss the last event!  GP Information.
