This race is an early half marathon but a great challenge for those training for longer races. We have had lovely sunny weather for the past two years and hope that Mother Nature works with us to make our third year just as warm and accommodating.

There can’t be too many complaints about training outside with the wonderful winter and spring that we have had. The temperatures have been moderate and minimal snow to interfere with road training. In fact, one could bike in March this year.
Starting April 9 and for the next 5 weeks we will give you some workouts to get you ready for your 5K, 10K and half marathon

The race director is on the ball for the 2012 Lodi Mother’s Day Run. Online registration is open, posters are getting put up and the brochures are on the way!
The Lodi Mother’s Day Run (LMDR) committee is lookng forward to another great event with a new day. This years race will be on Saturday, May 12, 2012.
New for 2012: We have added a 10k run and later start times for the 5 & the new 10k. Also, the kids events ( one mile and 1/2 mile race) will be FREE and include youth T’s and finisher medals.
We held a logo contest this year, open to the public to get a new logo. We feel the selected logo, designed by Jim Salzman of Dane, WI, accurately reflects the nature of the run. Rural in nature, hilly, farmland, and fun.
See you on May 12, 2012.
