Here at OctoberFast, we're passionate about local racing, local athletes, running clubs, and the stories that make our running community unique. If you're the kind of runner who can't get enough of the sport, we think you'll enjoy The Chase Pack Report. Published every two weeks, it brings you race results, athlete spotlights, upcoming events, editorials, rankings, and stories from across the local running community. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy putting it together.

OctoberFast is more than a race.
It’s a feeling. It’s the embodiment of what running really is.

But what is running?

Why does someone willingly wake up early, chase miles, and keep coming back for more?

We asked that question and one response stood out.

Read it here: https://octoberfast5k.com/f/why-i-we-run

If you’ve ever tried to explain why you run… you already know it’s not always a simple thing to explain.

Now we want to hear from you.

If you’re interested in having your story featured on our website, send your submission to [email protected]

Keep running. We’ll see you soon.
