With the Georgia summer heat clearly locked down on us these days, outdoor training has become difficult except for early mornings.  That being said, our BT Track Club members have still been hard at it over the summer.  The largest running event was the annual Peachtree Road Race, and we once again had double digit participation, with some impressive times given the unusually cool weather on July 4th this year.

In addition, our triathletes  have been quite active, with extremely competitive finishes in the Ironman Coeur d’Alene in Idaho, Olympic distance races including St. Anthony’s in St. Petersburg Florida, West Point Lake in West Point Georgia, as well as Rev3 in Knoxville, Tennessee. 

Congratulations to all of our Track Club participants for their accomplishments so far this summer.

Coming  soon-  Our members have their sights set on several races including Ironman Louisville in August, the Silver Comet ½ Marathon in October, and the Nashville Country Music Marathon and ½ Marathon.  In addition, Bennett Thrasher is a corporate sponsor this year for the annual Frogtown Trail Challenge on October 2 in Cumming Ga..  The Frogtown Trail Challenge includes a 4 mile and a 10 mile race, and will be quite the challenge.  Below is a quote from the race’s main website www.christianrunners.org/frogtown/

“Run for your life.  This is not about racing, its about survival.  We let nature throw everything at you from slippery rocks to deep ravines, steep muddy climbs, and of course, the nearly one mile of creek running.  We assure you, that with a few barking dogs behind you, you’d think you were on a jailbreak!  Not for the faint of heart, but certainly doable if you let your adventurous side take over.  Racing as Mother Nature intended it!”

We look forward to great turnouts at all of the fall adventures the BT Track Club has in store.
