After last year's Blue Balls and Glass Cutters 5k Inaugural Race, Heather and I decided it was now officially time to enter the big leagues.
We are making this a big deal now (as if it wasn't before, I mean seriously... course records were set last year!!!) We are hosting the race this year at the Oak Grove Picnic Shelter where they have bathrooms, electrical outlets and fireplaces.
Why do I mention the amenities? Simple, everyone needs a pre-race dump; Everyone wants to be a part of the food festivities after the race (I always get mad when post race food sucks); and Everyone wants to be warm in the middle of Cleveland winter.
You may be asking yourselves right now... post race food? How can you top bananas and bagels and bottled water? Well my friends, simple. Chili Cook Off! Yes, you read that right. This event is going to be the kick off to the first annual Blue Balls and Glass Cutters Chili Cook Off too!!! All friends and family will be invited to come join us after the race for the festivities. All participants are encouraged to bring some sort of dish, whether it's a spiced rum cider to share, some deserts, or your family chili that has been passed down through generations and generations.
This event is going to be a blast, more so a party than anything. It is being hosted at noon for one reason, Heather and I will need time to set up and no one really wants chili for breakfast :)
I can't wait for this event to unfold for I have a feeling it will be OFF THE HOOK!
