Ed Lowery 5k Cross Country Bash
Saturday’s race will be a 5k cross country run at Bells Mill Park in Chesapeake in honor of Ed Lowery, a local coach who lost his battle with cancer last year. I’m not expecting a fast time and will just treat it as an intense tempo effort. The XC 5k will be my 28th race [...]
