Bill's Take: Those Other Races

We're With The Band 5K

When: August 6, 2016

Where: Overbrook, KS. (20 mi south of Topeka on US56). A little town of pop 1000, all of eight blocks wide, dominated by a grain elevator and Casey's General Store.

History: 2nd year and growing. Last year it was "I'M With the Band". :-)

Course: Paved, streets and running trail. Mostly flat, 1/4 mile short. (To avoid running through the cemetery, she says.)

Scenery: A beautiful park with a lake.

Entrants: 3 female 9 male! Last-minute Entry Fee: $30 T-shirt: coral pink! short-sleeved, cotton.

Timing: manual Awards: none

Pluses: Did I mention: beautiful park and lake.

Minuses: "Stay away from the water, it tested positive for blue-green algae last week!"

Bottom Line: Bare minimum, but nice.
