Next Sunday, October 17th is the 3rd Annual Reiche International 5K.
Last year there were 185 runners that completed the fast and mostly flat course for a race
that celebrates all of the 30 different nationalities that attend Reiche Elementary School.
New this year is the Centipede Division, where teams of 3 or more runners will be tied together
with their own rope about a stride length apart, and they have to complete the entire
course tied together as they are. This is a great opportunity to just go out and have
some fun, find some friends that are faster than you and let them pull you into a 5K PR!
The race takes place at Reiche Elementary School, in Portland, Maine. It starts right
there on Brackett Street.
You'll get a great tour of the west end of Portland, and the only hill is going up into
the cemetery. Everything else is pretty flat and pretty fast. There was under a 16 and
a half minute finishing time, I think it was 16:26, last year. So if you're looking for
a quick race then this is a good one to take a look at.
If you want more information about the race, you can get it at ReicheInternational.com,
and I'll put the URL right here at the bottom of the screen so that you'll be able to actually
spell it out.
