Spring into fall with Cherokee Harvest run

Written by 

The Cherokee Harvest Half-Marathon and 5K will be held at 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 29, in Cherokee.

Both races will start and finish on the stadium track at the Acquoni Expo Center. The 5K is flat and travels through the main commercial district of Cherokee. The half-marathon ventures into some of Cherokee’s communities and is also flat except for one hill at mile six.

Native Cherokee food, including pumpkin soup, awaits runners at the finish line. The first 300 registered runners will receive a swag package that includes a Nike N7 shirt, a zipped cinch bag and fleece beanie, in addition to the long-sleeve tech shirt and finisher medallion all runners receive. More than 230 runners have registered so far. Cost if $40 for half-marathon or $25 for 5K. www.CherokeeHarvestHalf.com.

A fledgling in the woods

  • Audobon Society, here I come

    Maybe someone heard my plea.

    For the last two weekends, the rain, for the most part, has stayed away, giving us at least one nice day without a drop to enjoy some time outdoors. And after having my first attempt to go birding cancelled because of the weather, I was looking forward Saturday to finding out why others enjoyed the hobby so much.
