by the first of the month

with release of the

newsletter by the 15th of

each month. ...but you can still run

right? They can’t close

the outdoors, can they?

I’ve been seeing lots of

groups still getting to-

gether, but what if

you’ve been avoiding

that too? Now what?

This edition of Split

Times is a little early in

order to let you know

about a few virtual race

options I’ve found out

there FOR FREE! So

check out the links pro-

vided and find the virtual

race that fits you. Find a

few friends that will do it

with you (or away from

you) and stay motivated

until the racing season

starts back up.

By the way my name is

Patsy and I’m your edi-

tor for the newsletter. I

encourage everyone

interested in submitting

articles, pictures, and

information for publica-

tion to the following

email address: patsy-

The Un-Canceled Project (runtheedge.com) From their website:

“100% FREE VIRTUAL

RACE SERIES

4 weeks of amazing vir-

tual races in April

With schools, races,

events, concerts, etc.

being canceled around

the world, life can feel

overwhelming and out of

control. But they cannot

cancel hope, love, or the

human spirit! The Un-

canceled project is

about taking the most

important aspects of our

lives back. It is about

refusing to allow fear to

make us angry or unkind

to to others.” 5K to Ultra

distances available each

week completely free

with a different theme

each week (and they

sound really fun!)
