Pop Up Miles Championship week

Join us at Meredith for the Sir Walter Qualifier!

Runners,

Report live from Eugene, Oregon where Sandy, Pat and Jeff are enjoying the first session of the Olympic Trials, and are in the midst of recruiting the field for this years Sir Walter Miler! We’ve spent mornings running along Pre’s Trail, afternoons at Hayward Field, and nights at the Wild Duck (with lots of fun meetings and events in between). If you haven’t made the pilgrimage yet, we highly recommend.

But back to Raleigh… this week is the Sir Walter Qualifier aka the Pop Up Miles Championship on Wednesday, June 26th at Meredith College. The track opens at 6pm and we have a full slate of miles. See below for the full schedule. And check out the Championship fields as well (and RSVP if you are listed). Afterwards, we’ll have an after party at Raleigh Brewing. We hope you’ll join us.
