__/ LABOR DAY WEEKEND RACES

-- MILFORD LABOR DAY 30K & 10K, SATURDAY, SEPT. 3 Nothing beats the 30K for a Fall marathon long training run and the Milford Labor Day 30K fills the bill. The course is scenic, you get aid stations and the company of other runners along the way. This year Milford has added a 10K to the day's events. Prize money will be awarded to top runners. The 30K begins at 8:00 am at Baker's of Milford Restaurant, 2025 South Milford Road. The 10K Walk & Run begins at 8:45 am. Online registration and more details are available at http:// www.laborday30k.com/

-- CADILLAC FESTIVAL OF RACES, MONDAY, SEPT. 5 The Cadillac Festival of Races is one of Michigan's oldest classic races. Get a PR on the flat, fast, certified 10K course. A 5K run and walk was added in recent years and events include a kids run. The Cadillac Adventure Triathlon features a 2 mile kayak race as the water component along with the 12 mile bike and 5K run legs of the race. Events begin at 9:00 am at Cadillac Memorial Stadium. For more information, call Rich Langton, (231) 775-0547.

--SECOND ANNUAL GOVERNOR'S LABOR DAY BRIDGE RUN We have Governor Jennifer Granholm and her husband, First Gentleman Dan Mulhern, runners both, to thank for putting this run on the calendar. Michigan governors have long led the traditional walk across the Mackinac Bridge on Labor Day. Jennifer Granholm worked with the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness Sports and Health to get the run included. Entry by lottery closed earlier this summer. If you missed the lottery this year, you can check out the Council's Web site for lottery details: http://www.michiganfitness.org/bridgerun.html.

__/ JAZZ FEST RUN CANCELLED Sadly, Doug Kurtis reports in today's Detroit Free Press: "The Jazz Fest Run had the best awards ceremony of all the events I work on, I don't know if it was the venue, the music or the beeer, but people stayed for awards and cheered enthusiastically. Unfortunately, I have to announce that this year's Jazz Fest Run has been cancelled. Budget cuts and the Labor Day parades stretched police resources making it too difficult to ensure a safe course,."

__/ MICHIGAN RUNNER TV: 2005 CRIM FESTIVAL OF RACES Michigan Runner TV will feature the 2005 Crim Festival of Races beginning Thursday, September 1. We have interviews with Race Director, Deb Kiertzner, and athletes Paul Aufdemberge, Krysh Brish, Laurie Decker, Doug and Cindy Goodhue, Boaz Cheboiywo, Todd Snyder and more. http://michiganrunner.tv/2005crim/

__/ JIM FORSHEE ASKS RACE DIRECTORS FOR 80+ AGE GROUPS Jim Forshee, one of the most accomplished senior runners in the US, recently sent a plea to race directors by way of Michigan Runner:

"Dear Michigan Runner, Runners eagerly anticipate birthdays, when it means they celebrate a new age-group. Next March, I'll be blowing out 80 candles, but there will be few races that will give me a new age-group. In most Michigan races I will have to compete against men 10, or even 20 years, my junior.

"For years, I've trained hard and raced harder. I pay the same entry fee everyone else does, but in most races I won' have a fair chance of winning. While I realize that races have few runners over 70, those of us who continue to race into our 70s and 80s deserve a fair playing field.

"For 32 years I've supported your races, and to all of you hao have 80+_ I thank you and support you. I'm sorry that I can't stop aging. I ure the rest of you to consider celebrating aging with me, and add five-year age- groups for all runners as high as you need to go." -- Jim Forshee

__/ MRN ON THE ROAD - FLINT - CRIM FESTIVAL OF RACES

-- It was good to talk to Kyle Baker, now that he has returned to competition after many months out with injuries. Baker, who was unable to compete in the Oympic Marathon trials, will be running the Twin Cities marathon.

--We had a chance to meet the delightful Nina Rillstone from New Zealand who was 5th overall in 56:06. Nina came to our rescue when we tried to carry too much to the car in one trip.

-- Bobby Crim got our Michigan Runner of the Year awards off to a surprising start Friday evening. The 73 year-old founder of the original Crim Road Race hopped up on the stage and demonstrated the kind of stretching more typical of a 14 year old gymnast. Boy is he limber. Crim finished the 10 mile in 1:39:58-4th in his age group. Laurie Decker, Kyle O'Brien, Betsy Frens, Suzanne Larsen, Doug Goodhue, and Patricia Ball were on hand to receive their awards. We mailed awards to Carol Bender and Brian Olsen who were unable to attend.

The Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Bank Marathon has been named the fastest growing marathon in the USA - and there's good reason for that. The secret is out of the bag that Detroit has perhaps the best course and finish in all of marathoning.

__/ GREAT PERFORMANCES ON THE ROADS

-- Boaz Cheboiywo (49:39) and Betsy Frens (58:16 PR) were the top Michigan and US residents to finish the Crim 10 Mile. Both Cheboiywo and Frens now focus on their coaching seasons-Cheboiywo at Concordia College and Frens at Kalamazoo Christian High School.

-- Paul Aufdemberge (52:51) was the first master (world, US and Michigan) to cross the Crim 10 Mile finish line.

__/ GREAT PERFORMANCES ON THE TRACK

-- Bernard Lagat on Sunday, August 28, achieved what most felt was simply a matter of time: he broke Sydney Maree's American record in the men's 1,500 meters. The 30-year-old Lagat ran 3:29.30 to win the 1,500 meters Sunday in Rieti, Italy, at the final IAAF Grand Prix meet of the summer. His time breaks Maree's AR of 3:29.77, set in Cologne on August 25, 1985, and is the fastest time in the world in 2005.
