Evening runs always offer a unique challenge as you work through the balance of the day ensuring you are eating right, hydrated and not taking on too many activities that will impact your run. That said, I do enjoy a good evening run every now and again and registered for the Shirley May France 10K which will be held on Saturday, September 19th in Somerset, Massachusetts.

This will be a new race for me so I’m looking forward to tackling a new course. The race is a fundraiser for local charities and the 2026 charity of choice is The Cure Starts Now – Somerset chapter. Led by Ken and Michelle Oheman in honor of their late daughter Selina, The Cure Starts Now raises money for research on pediatric brain cancer.
