Join us at the Bates Motel this Halloween for the Monster Mayhem 5K or Monster Mile! https://runsignup.com//PA/GlenMills/MonsterMayhemBatesMotel

Thanks for such a great season, it was really one of the most memorable for us. It was great to see the kids out competing again and I think our family really enjoyed getting out. Amazing nearly everyone showed for todays murky cold weather. We got a spritz here and there but never any big downpour. I'll be posting up the results but sadly 2 runners tags in the mile were damaged and usually we have a video & written record, but we were short on volunteers this week and... unfortunately we missed both on the written record and had no video in the mile. So if it's your kid let us know and we'll post corrected records. Speaking of the mile, WOW, what a great season. Usually we have 1 or 2 kids break 7 minutes, this year... 7 minutes was mid-pack. For those of you in the back of the pack keep working on it, it was an exceptional year. See more

It's Awards day. We're planning to race. We will plan to compile the results after each event, hand out medals & trophies and move on to the next event to minimize the time for everyone in any rain & cold. As a result the current plan is for no parents race today like in previous seasons. Usually we use the time from the parents race to compile all the results, but I think we'll do it race by race like I mentioned, especially so the youngest kids don't get wet & cold.

Don’t be scared, run the Monster Mayhem 5K or Monster Mile Halloween morning at Bates Motel. Register today! https://runsignup.com//PA/GlenMills/MonsterMayhemBatesMotel

Even our dog is with the caped run theme today. (Sorry no pets, even with capes). We will also be collecting donations for Baur Family to help them thru their house fire, if you would like to donate. Their kids will be racing today as usual.
