Crim offers variety of races


Whether you want to participate or watch, you'll find plenty of opportunities in the 2006 Crim event.

There's the classic 10-mile run, a 10-mile wheelchair race, the "half-Crim" - the 8K walk and run that is just short of five miles - as well as the 5K run and walk and a one mile walk and run.

Children get their chance to shine in the Teddy Bear Trot.

Some people even walk or run in multiple events.

A growing number of people are racing longer in their lives, so in 2006 the Crim created a category for those 80-plus runners.
