ASE run #21 is Saturday November 15

by Kirby Cheek

Join in the 21^st Birthday of the ASE

The ASE (Another Stupid Event) has all grown up but is still child-like fun.  The ASE was born 21 years ago in Merna when a group of LRC runners of assorted abilities needed a location for a weekend run.  Most in the group ran the 4 mile section in the country, but some shortened the effort with a variable distance out-and-back run.  Then everyone celebrated and recovered at the Merna Bar and Grille, sharing running stories, lies and general camaraderie.

Mark the date, because this year’s celebration is November 15^th, and as always, the running starts at Noon. 

The event is an informal opportunity to run with others (no clocks, no registration forms, no t-shirts, no fees – just fun!)  Bring a friend, or two, and a few bucks to enjoy the hospitality of Merna Bar& Grille after the run.  Pass this on to other I may have missed too.

Injured?  Can’t run?  Show up anyway, to enjoy the fun.  Runners are back at Merna by 1:00 to enjoy the hospitality.  Just do it.  Join in!

If you haven't made it to an ASE, Merna is about 4 miles east of Towanda Barnes Road In B/N on Ft. Jessie Road (extended). When you get to Merna, you can't miss it.  There will be a group of runners gathering outside Merna Bar & Grille, the busiest business in Merna.
