Run before you eat. The annual Ashenfelter 8K Classic (A8K) is tomorrow (and the weather should be wonderful for a run). The traditional Thanksgiving Day running event is open to everyone — The 8K (4.97 miles) begins at 9 a.m.; the One Mile Ridger Romp starts at 8:30 a.m. For registration and additional information, go here. Need inspiration? Watch the man who started it all, Horace Ashenfelter…

Can anyone tell me if Horace ever broke his leg while golfing? … this would have been in mid 1970s or so.
This would explain all of the people parking on my street and wearing race numbers.
I like to think of the event as the Affenpinscher classic. All the Affenpinschers line up and run like the wind for their turkey.
Thanks for the video. It was cool seeing the snippet of the medal ceremony! We used to live down the street from Mr. Ashenfelter. Only my little brother Joe had the nerve to ask to see the medal.
