RUNOHIO would like to wish you and your family a Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas. I hope you can run one of the many Holiday races listed in the December Race Calendar

When you are making your New Year' Resolutions, I hope you will consider volunteering at a local road race. If possible, help to sponsor a local race or help a new runner understand proper training. Also, help your neighbor who might need some assistance. If we all do a few kind acts to help others who are nearby, I am sure 2020 will be a great year.

Nearly perfect November weather greeted 541 girls from 168 schools and 550 boys from 182 schools

Goals are part of youth running. There are classroom goals, like tracking on a map the miles run during recess, a journey to a landmark or across the country.

The Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches annual Track and Field Clinic will be held at the Hilton Easton from January 23 – 25.
