__/ QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"A wild island in the biggest, deepest lake in the universe is a good place to find yourself when midsummer days scorch everything."

-- Scott Sullivan, Michigan Runner editor, in "Northern Dreams", The Commercial Record, August 3, 2006, p. A4. Scott will be reporting on that wild island in Michigan Runner TV's Grand Island Marathon later on this month. __/ "LONG BLUE LINE, THE CRIM AT 30" IS HOT OFF THE PRESS - We stopped by the Crim offices on Thursday last week and found ourselves in for a treat. Dorie Barkey, the Crim's Program Coordinator, showed us the brand-new, 5-minutes-inside-the-Crim-office, coffee-table book: "Long Blue Line, the Crim at 30." The Flint Journal has produced a beauty of a book-- 144 hardcover pages of photos taken by Flint Journal photographers. We saw photos of posters, medals, personalities, participants, and more. We rushed over to the Flint Journal offices only to find that no one there had seen the finished book yet. We ordered ours and you can, too:

Call (810) 766-6179, or

email kharris@flintjournal.com, or

find a printable order form: http://mlive.com/flintjournal/store. Orders before August 11 are $29.95; after August 11 the price is $39.95.

__/ RUN THRU HELL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 - It's about the T-shirt, the scenic course on country roads, the 10 Mile distance at which many test their fitness for the Crim 10 Mile, but mostly it's about race directors Dolores and Harrison Hensley who have volunteered more of their time for Michigan road racing than just about anyone. The 10 mile and 4.8 mile "weenie" race begin at 8:00 am at Hell Creek Ranch on Cedar Lake Road at Paterson Lake Road. Do plan to go early and park in the lot; no parking on Paterson Lake Road. Register online: http://gaultracemanagement.com

__/ SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 - Beautiful Hines Park at Nanking Mills in Westland is the site of the 5K run, a 2 Mile walk, a 4 mile inline skate and a 10 mile bike. There will be a bouncy for kids, a snowcone machine, and dog and strollers are welcome. The Second Chance at Life organization raises awareness for the need of organ donors. For more information see http://www.secondchanceatlife.org. Register online: http://gaultracemanagement.com

__/ SYLVANIA TRIATHLON / DUATHLON, SYLVANIA, OHIO, SUNDAY, AUGUST 13 - Now in its 22nd year, the Sylvania triathlon keeps fans happy with a scenic, flat, fast course. The triathlon is available in Sprint and Olympic distances; the duathlon is 3kR - 40KB, 10KR or you can put a team together for a relay. Location is Tam-O-Shanter Sports Complex, Olander Park, Sylvania, Ohio, 7:30 am. Elite Endeavors provides clinics for those new to multisport events.

__/ MRN ON THE ROAD: TRAVERSE CITY- We were in town for one of Michigan's three major golf tournaments-- the Native American Cup at Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. One of the mainstays of host team, the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, is Rick Woods. When he's not playing golf, Rick coaches the Traverse City St. Francis cross country team. The girls won in 2003 and were runners-up in Division 4 last year.

EDMONTON ALBERTA - We're headed to one of the continents' great venues for athletic competition. Edmonton, Alberta hosted the 2001 IAAF World Championships in Athletics and the 2005 World Masters Games. We plan to explores Edmonton's famous trail system and to capture the excitement of a weekend of running events, including the Canadian Half-Marathon championship. Marathon, half-marathon and 10K are on Sunday; 5K and kids runs are on Saturday. Details are online at http://events.runningroom.com Watch for Michigan Runner TV's will cover the 2006 race.

__/ JIM GAVER AND WFUM WILL BROADCAST THE CRIM'S 30TH - With Jim Gaver retiring from WFUM, we weren't sure that Michigan Television, the Flint Public Television Station, would continue the traditional broadcast the evening of the Crim Festival of Races. We're pleased to report that Jim Gaver will return for the Crim's 30th anniversary. You can read Jim's story of the annual broadcast at http://www.michiganrunner.com/0801/CRIM.html. Also, you can order a DVD of the hour-long "Crim, the First 30 Years" at http://www.wfum.org/.
