February 12, 2012-- Granville, Ohio

The Columbus Roadrunners Club winter tradition continues with the 31^st Annual CRRC Winter Run. Again this year, the Winter Run will include three races: the 15 mile, 7.5 mile and the 3 mile race. The Winter Run offers the challenge of cold weather, on a hilly course, and a perfect training race for spring marathon training race. The Winter Run, all distances, start and finish at Granville Intermediate School. Even if it is cold outside, you can warm up inside the school after the race with soup and other post race food! Multiple water stations will be available on the course. The school cafeteria and rest rooms will be available before and after the race. This year, all entrants receive a red long sleeve t-shirt with the "Winter Run" logo.

This year, the CRRC has selected the Resurrecting Lives Foundation as the Winter Run charity. All race proceeds will go the Resurrecting Lives Foundation to support treatment for military personnel who are suffering from Traumatic Brain Injuries. There are an estimated 400,000 service personnel from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflict who have sustained TBI over the past decade. So, participate in the CRRC Winter Run and support the Resurrectioin Lives Foundation.

The first 60 finishers, both male & female in the 15 and 7.5 mile run, and the first 50 finishers, male & female, will receive a commemorative Winter Run race mug.
