The weather for the Portland 5k will be unpredictable. One year I ran it the windchill was -20 degrees. Last year it was in a snow storm. Just show up and run no matter what. It will be a good reintroduction back into racing before Monday's 1st indoor meet of the season.

Monday, January 18th is the first indoor meet, which will be held at MSU. The running events start at 5:00pm. The 4 x 800 is the second event and the 1600 is the 5th event. An estimated time for each would be...

• 4 x 800 @ ~5:15 pm
• 1600 @ ~6:00 pm

That would mean showing up by 4:00 pm to sign up and start your warm up at 4:15 pm. If we don't have enough runners for the 4 x 8 we will try and find some other distance runners to form a relay. Everyone plan on running the 4 x 8.

We have a great line-up of races this winter. Take advantage of the schedule and try to run them all. Put them on your calendar now so you don't forget.
