These are NOT the exact hats you’ll get for running 5 miles on New Year’s Day, but this is what I mean by “tassel” hat

Don’t forget about the ERC’s New Year’s Day 5-miler on, you guessed it…New Year’s day. The race doesn’t start till 10 a.m., so  you can sleep (or recover) a little. Race starts & finishes at the Rotary Pavilion. Information can be found here.

If you haven’t registered already (guilty), you’ll have to pony up the extra bucks for day-of-race registration. Premium is a cute winter “tassle” hat — though, my husband doesn’t do “cute” hats, so he won’t be getting one (you can opt out and save yourself a few bucks).

This race is #2 in the 3-race ERC Winter Series (Turkey Trot, New Year’s Day & St. Patrick’s Day), so…it’s worth your while to participate. Complete (or volunteer) at all three events and you get a special prize for free.  No, I don’t know what it is…it’s always a closely-guarded secret.

This race is always a great way to start the year off right!
