Personalize your race

Admit it, you love it when people cheer for you by name!

This year we’re adding your name to your race bib. First name, last name, your choice. Makes it easier for your cheering section to recognize you in the early morning hours. And if you’re the shy type, don’t worry, you can leave yours blank.

Don’t Forget Your Support on the Course

With less than a month until race day, It’s time to get your gear lined up! And for you ladies, that means making sure you have the right sports bra to wear. Running is a high impact sport, and just like a suitable pair of running shoes, a great-fitting and comfortable bra is key to an enjoyable race (and training experience).

When buying, look for maximum support. Your sports bra should keep motion to a minimum. A typical bra is neither sensible nor comfortable for long runs. Also, search for the right fabrics. Look for sports bras with moisture-wicking fabrics to cool your body and that stretches for comfort and proper fit.

To determine which type of bra will work best for you as you gear up for The Middle Half, come see me (Krista) at Fleet Feet Sports in Murfreesboro.

Krista Dugosh, owner of Fleet Feet Sports in Murfreesboro, is a Board Certified Pedorthist, which is a footwear specialist who solves problems in or related to the foot and lower limb. She is an expert in fitting the correct shoe to your foot, and can recommend the correct insert if one is required.

Snapple is the official Sport Drink on the Course

Race Director — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:42:15 +0000

We’re happy to announce that Snapple will be providing their Antioxidant Water at our Water Stations this year. Be sure to try them out on your training runs so you’ll know what to expect on race day. Full of electrolytes, carbs, and they taste good, too!

Finish Line Towels

Back by popular demand…our ice-cold sport towels at the finish line! Thank our sponsor, Dr. Roy Thompson, when you see him.

Shirt exchanges & purchases

Race Director — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:00:30 +0000

EXCHANGES
Sometimes it’s difficult deciding which size shirt to order online when you register. If it doesn’t fit, are you stuck with it?
This year after Packet Pickup ends at 7:00 Saturday morning, you’ve got the opportunity to swap your shirt for a different size. We will have a very limited number of extra shirts; it will be first-come, first served. The t-shirt swap booth will be open until 10:30 a.m. on race day.
PURCHASES
A few technical shirts and volunteer shirts from the past two races will be on sale at bargain prices as well. Be sure to bring cash or your checkbook (we’re not set up to accept credit cards).

Beating the Heat in Tennessee

Race Director — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 02:41:29 +0000

It’s been an unseasonably hot weekend in Tennessee for April. And October is usually unpredictable as well. We’ve planned plenty of water stations along the route…one every two miles for Miles 1-6, and one every mile for the last half of the race.

Accelerade will also be at the water stations. Try it out during your training; it contains a ration of carbs and protein which extends endurance, speeds muscle recovery, enhances rehydration and reduces muscle damage.

The past 2 years firemen have had a water spray that runners could run through (optional!), and we plan to have that feature this year as well.

Of course, the finish area will have plenty of water, snacks and Purity popsicles. Middle Half runners are the coolest!
