Fort For Fitness Fanatics!

Calling all Intentionals…Ft.Wayne’s 3rd annual mini-marathon is quickly approaching in 2 weeks (Sept 25th).  I’d like to invite all of those who aren’t crazy enough to run (like my husband!) to come to the Williams Woodland Park Neighborhood to help cheer on the runners!  Our neighborhood, next to Creighton and Calhoun, is about 1.5 miles from the finish line so the runners will need extra encouragement to keep going to the end.  The race takes people up Pontiac from Fairfield (entering our neighborhood) and left on Hoagland eventually crossing Creighton (leaving our neighborhood).  There is a slight hill on Pontiac so any people willing to run alongside the runners or stand at the top to cheer would be extra encouraging!  

Neighbors have already been encouraged to wear costumes (especially kids) and bring any noise makers (pots, pans, bells, whistles) and signs to stand/sit along the sidewalks.  Prizes for the best costumes will be given.

The 5K race starts at 7:30am with mini-marathon starting at 8:00am.  We encourage you to come to our neighborhood anytime after 7:30 to cheer on the 5K’ers- top runners will be going through around 7:45am.

Feel free to email with any questions or ideas. Please remember streets (parts of Hoagland, Creighton, Pontiac, Fairfield) will be blocked off race day so depending on what direction you’re coming from, you might have to park a block or two away.   Looking forward to seeing you Sept.25!
