This fun event is named for Ivory Crockett, who went to Webster Groves High School from 1962-1966. For a period of time beginning in 1974, he was "The World's Fastest Man" (our very own Usain Bolt!), owning the world's record for covering the 100-yard dash in 9 seconds.
My wife and I love to be a part of local races like this in Webster, Kirkwood and Glendale (WKG), either by sponsoring these great events financially, volunteering (which I don't do nearly enough), or actually running in them. It's really fun to race through the neighborhoods and see our friends and neighbors who love to run as much as we do. I especially like that this event offers a 110-yard dash for kids under 12.
Last year, more than 500 people participated in the race and this year should be another great turnout. Click on the title of the blog post to be connected to the registration information, or contact the Sports Medicine and Training Center at 314-961-3787!
