CANCELLED - The Great Race Inline 10k and Half Marathon

[kevin_chicago9]

Although I'm sure that I will enjoy spending Memorial Day weekend in Chicago for the first time in a few years, I'm a little sad to say that The Great Race Inline 10k and Half Marathon in Elkhart, Indiana, has been cancelled for the foreseeable future.

From The Great Race press release:

"An Elkhart to Goshen Memorial Day weekend tradition for the past 28 years has come to an end. Due to the lack of general funding and major sponsorships, Ron Schmanske (Founder/President/CEO of the Great Race, Inc.) has announced the cancellation of all Great Race events; and the Great Race Board of Directors have voted to move forward with the dissolution process.

Those interested in discussing the purchase or continuation of The Great Race can call Schmanske at (574) 849-1056 or (574) 296-5890 (the 24 hour direct line message-only call back line). All calls will be returned as soon as possible."
