The Final MRA Circuit Race is Saturday, December 3
The 3rd annual St. Nick Six 6k Run & 3k Walk at St. Joseph Catholic Church in South Bend begins at 10:00am on Saturday, December 3rd. Now in its third year, the St. Nick Six is one of our area’s rare winter races and always draws a great crowd of enthusiastic runners, competitive racers, and die-hard supporters of St. Joseph Grade School. The race will begin with the ringing of the church bells on North Hill Street, in front of St. Joseph Catholic Church in South Bend. The course follows the East Bank Trail, north toward Holy Cross College and loops back to St. Joseph Church, where participants can relax with hot cocoa and Christmas Cookies while they wait for results and prizes. Professional chip timing will be used on-site, and participants will take home a goodie bag stuffed with fun treats, including a Tech Shirt. Register online by Thursday, December 1 at https://www.signmeup.com/site/online-event-registration/78807/SMUCalendar.
Friends of Granger Paths Needs Your Help!
Please attend the informational meeting on Wednesday, December 14, 6:30 pm at Northpoint Elementary School, 50800 Cherry Road, Granger. As runners, we need to support Phase 1A of the multi-use path along Adams Road connecting Mary Frank and Northpoint Elementary Schools to the Harris Twp. Library, including many of the surrounding neighborhoods. A very small minority is against this much needed improvement so we hope to pack the place with informed people who care about health and safety. Find more information at www.grangerpaths.org.
