Sometimes newer and smaller area races like this one slip under our radar screen, but if you know of one not on our schedule, please let us know, so we can include the details and later the results. One race everyone is well aware of is this Saturday's Tuuri at Hurley Medical Center in Flint. A 5K is 7:30 a.m. and a 10K is 8:30 a.m. A one-mile walk is 8:45 a.m. and children's event is 10:45 a.m. With the 5K and 10Ks an hour apart, the race is another opportunity to run both, although it's a different kind of double than the recent opportunity at Catch Your Breath (a 10K/5K). The ultimate in area multiple racing is to do the Crim 10-Mile, 8K, 5K, and 1-Mile races. It's not an easy achievement, but some have done it (Historically, runners had 90 minutes to run the 10-mile, but only 30 minutes to run the 8K to make it to the 5K start.

Adkisson | The Flint JournalRunners take off at the start of the Bastille Day 15K road race Saturday in Fenton. FENTON, Michigan — The Crim's Bradley Avenue hills have history and mystique in their favor, but they probably look like mere speed bumps today to the 346 finishers in the Bastille Day 15-kilometer road race. Listen to Josh Perrin, Timianne Walrath, Brad Ferrara and Sue Larsen talk about their victories in the Bastille Day race. In six short years, the terrain on Denton Hill Road in Fenton has developed a nasty reputation of its own among Flint-area runners. Those who struggled with the hills in the back of the pack can take some comfort in knowing that Denton Hill was just as grueling a test for the winners....http://blog.mlive.com/flintjournal/runners/2008/07/2008-bastille-day.htmlhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/runners/~3/338238784/weekly_jog_5.htmlMac’s Blog on the RunRunningScheduleWeekly JogChristofer Machniak | The Flint JournalThu, 17 Jul 2008 11:35:26 -0500tag:blog.mlive.com,2008:/flintjournal/runners//1573.1187596 ]]>HARTLAND TWP., Michigan — Want to make sure you're ready for the usually hot and humid Crim? Running in today's 6:30 p.m. Ophelia Bonner Scholarship Fund Race (8K and 5K) in downtown Flint would be a chance to acclimatize to the sticky weather. Besides, it will likely be worse than anything an August morning can dish out and the race raises money for a good cause. Another great tune-up for the Crim is Saturday's Bastille Day Race 15K in downtown Fenton. The hilly course that stretches south into Tyrone Township mimics the steep grades that challenge in the Crim. The event, which raises money for Genesee County Habitat for Humanity and kicks off at 7:45 a.m., also features a 5K.

FLINT, Michigan — Jesse Anderson remembers going to the 2002 St. John Applefest road race as a 12-year-old and being in awe of fellow Fenton resident Kirk Walrath. Jesse Anderson, Sue Larsen, Joe Maki and Lisa Veneziano talk about their victories in the Catch Your Breath race. • Full results • Past winners • Age-group records "I thought he was the greatest runner ever," Anderson said. Walrath won the 10-kilometer race that day at a 5:26-per-mile pace for the first of his five straight Applefest victories. Anderson, running half the distance, was seventh in the 12-and-under age group in the 5K at 6:59 pace. It was a promising time for a young runner who would go on to make All-State in cross country and track at Fenton. So, even though Anderson compiled an impressive resume of his own before graduating from Fenton this year, it was a big deal for him to beat Walrath Saturday in The Journal's 12th annual Catch Your Breath 10K race....http://blog.mlive.com/flintjournal/runners/2008/07/2008-catch-your-breath.htmlhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/runners/~3/333805989/catch-your-breath-winners-through-2008.htmlCatch Your BreathRecordsRoad racesRunningBill Khan | The Flint JournalSat, 12 Jul 2008 20:28:13 -0500tag:blog.mlive.com,2008:/flintjournal/runners//1573.1174345 ]]>Click "continue reading" for Catch Your Breath race results....http://blog.mlive.com/flintjournal/runners/2008/07/catch-your-breath-winners-through-2008.htmlhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/runners/~3/333805990/071208-catch-your-breath-records.htmlCatch Your BreathRecordsRoad racesRunningBill Khan | The Flint JournalSat, 12 Jul 2008 15:44:32 -0500tag:blog.mlive.com,2008:/flintjournal/runners//1573.1174358 ]]>FLINT, Michigan — It wasn't a day for fast times.

This week's opportunity is today's Huckleberry Hustle 5K starting 7 p.m. at Crossroads Village while The Flint Journal's annual event -- the Catch Your Breath -- features 5K and 10K distances beginning 8 a.m. Saturday and includes entertainment from Lolly and the Pops. As Bill Khan noted in his most-recent posting, there are some who plan to compete in both races. I plan on joining that cadre (No, we're not crazy and it's only $5 extra).
