As the Ogden Marathon approaches and the nervous vibes start to ring through our bodies, we offer our support and well wishes to all of you participating in the marathon, half-marathon, 5k or kids k at the Ogden Marathon.
We hope to see many of you at the Ogden Marathon Expo. Just like last year, this serves as our first real kick off for entries to The Classic Race. We'll have some SCHWAG as well as some free offerings from McKay-Dee Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Services.
All you cyclists, come check out our sweet BIKE FIT Program. This program will get you fit on your bike to help you avoid injury and increase your speed and endurance. Our sports med docs and therapists will also have a table set up to help you out with any nagging pains you may be experiencing. As well as at the finish line of the marathon for all of the pains and delusion that everyone will be feeling after 26.2, 13.1 or 5k.
Come by and visit us. Enter a drawing for some free entries to The Classic, some cool SCHWAG, or just to shoot the breeze - maybe we'll even bring some goodies with us. We'll be at the Expo at the Ogden Union Station all day Friday 9:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. Our area is inside the Ogden Union Station with all of the other Official Sponsors of the Ogden Marathon.
Good luck, see you then.

Hello there Classic Racers! Here we are with a few pics from the event this year. We'll be putting more up here soon, but wanted to get these out for you to check out.
Also, the BIG announcement. Next year we've told you to look for us in RED. Now, we've got the date. Look for us on September 12, 2009. We had an overwhelming approval of the date of the race, despite a few conflicting races, so we've decided to do it on the second Saturday of September again. Look for us on September 12th, 2009 in RED for Heart Services.
Thanks so much for your support. Watch for details on registration for next years event!

The Classic 2008
WOW! I'm speachless. Yes, the tall, skinny guy with the microphone can be speachless.
We had a great race this year, full of blistering times on the new coarse. When I saw the 10k times coming across this morning, I wondered if I had something wrong with the distances. Then I saw the accurate GPS reading on the course and was put back in my place. Congratulations to all that finished all three events.
Thank you so much for your help, donations, and support this year. I think the race went really well, but I'm just the tall, skinny guy that is pretty optimistic and outspoken. I want to hear what everyone else thought. Please drop me an email, post to our BLOG or give me a call. You have me contact information in your race bag. The honest and candid feedback we get from you, though it may hurt my pride sometimes, is what makes the race better. This is a race we organize for you the runner/walker. We want to improve it for you. So, send those firery darts, and the nice notes as well. Let us know what was good, and what wasn't so good.
Thanks again to all of our sponsors. Please visit our sponsors and let them know that you loved the race - because I'm sure you did. Our sponsors this year made it possible for most of your registrations fees to go directly to Heart Services and we're going to have quite the check to hand over to them - you know one of those big ones on cardboard. Thanks to you for making a difference in the community and saying "Yes, I can make a difference and I care about what happens in my community!"
Look for your 2008 results at the Stride Racing Website! I'll have them posted up on the blog later today. They'll also be on our awesome timing guys' (STRIDE RACING) website. You should see some results in tomorrow's Standard Examiner as well.
Thanks again for a great race this year. Look for us in the RED next year!

Ready, Set, GO!!!
Here we are folks, a few days before the race. We're very excited for this year's Classic Race. We have a lot of people registered and a great day set up.
A few quick items we've been getting a lot of calls about.
RACE PACKET PICKUP!
You can pick up your race packet the day before the race, or the morning of the race. Most of you will want to come and get your packets the day before the race, to avoid all that race morning craziness of last minute registrations, etc. For you we will be at the Layton Hills Mall on Friday from 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. We'll be sitting at center court at the mall by where the escalators and the elevator are. Everyone else can come the morning of the race and look for the preregistered lines to get your packets. We are starting registration at 7:00 a.m. and will be closing registration at 7:45 a.m. Registration will be near the finish line, just to the north and west of the Ed Kenley Amphitheater (that's also where the ever so coveted restrooms are).
RACE START TIMES
This year, with our new timing system, we are able to start all the races at the same time. We will be starting all the races promptly at 8:00 a.m. All the races start in the parking lot in the middle of the Layton City Offices, the Layton City Police Offices and Layton Surf 'N Swim.
As always, we welcome your questions. We appreciate all of the help we have received thus far this year. Please keep your eyes, ears and noses open to anything we can do to improve our race this year. We'll have some contact information for you in your race bag for you to tell your stories and make your suggestions - feel free to also post to our blog!
SEE YOU ON SATURDAY!

A Few Course Changes
The Classic is coming up fast as summer time rolls on. As we near the end of the summer everyone is planning their parties and end of summer activities. Likewise we are seeing a lot of runners that are planning their last few events before the cold season kicks in.
Runners aren't the only ones holding late summer activities, however. Layton City approached The Classic about the possibility of altering the race course to accommodate various groups requesting to use different areas of the park. We've taken into consideration Layton City's great support of The Classic in securing the course and offering police support and have put a few minor changes in to the course originally planned for this year's race. Please check the links on the right hand column of this page to view the new course maps.
While we apologize to those of you that have been scouting out the course and also to those of you that really look forward to the day The Classic reaches a stable course again, we think all of you will enjoy the changes we've made. All races will start and finish near the Ed Kenley Amphitheater in the park and we will utilize the facilities around the amphitheater for all race day activities (i.e. registration, start, finish, expo, prizes and food). Parking will also be a plus as we'll be able to utilize the city office building and Layton High School parking lots.
Again, thank you for your continued support in helping The Classic raise money for McKay-Dee Heart Services. We appreciate your input as we work to make this race the premier running event in Davis County, Utah.
