Post on this years Cinque Mulini Country race

Tracksmith write on the Cinque Mulini, "5 Mills," cross country race near Milan that has been taking place since 1933.  I always remember this race and in the past the top runners from all distances, from the mile to the marathon, ran it.  Shows the change in specialization, and probably money in the way of appearance fees, that seems to have taken place and fact that X-Country is not seen as the p it once was seen as and I think still is.  See video below with some shots form the past and see how many people you can recognize.

Local, to Kentucky, Races and Events
(If you have a race in the area, including surrounding states, let me know and I will post about it)

Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run.  If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running  Club.  There is now a running group starting over in Burkesville, for info check out their FB Page- Burkesville Running Club.  Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.
