You've trained all winter. Now, it's time for the last long run before the Carmel Marathon (register here!).
This event is free for Carmel Runners Club members (see your newsletter for a discount code) and $15 for nonmembers (join CRC now to get this discount and more!).
On Saturday, March 28th at 8am (announcements at 7:45) at Union Brewing Co, join Carmel Runners Club for a preview run of the Carmel Marathon Weekend races. There will be a 20 mile preview course for full marathon, an 11 mile preview course for the half marathon, and a shorter option on the Monon Trail for 10k and 5k participants or anyone looking to get in a few miles that day. These are un-timed fun runs. Each route will cover as much of the respective course as possible. These events will be open course, and roads will NOT be closed. Please use caution and stay on sidewalks or the Monon Trail while running.
