Coming up this Friday is The Downtown Dash a 5k run, cornhole tournament, and block party, all happening around St. Xavier Church downtown. This should be a fun event, and great way to kick off your weekend. As an afternoon runner, this is my style of event (I’ll bitch in later posts about most races happening in the morning hours). I hope it is as much fun as the Go OTR 5k was, which you should check out next year if you get a chance.
I like seeing more events downtown, but I especially like events that spread out past Fountain Square. Don’t get me wrong, I love the square, and over the last few years the change there has been unreal. It is in use all the time, be it an organized event or people just taking advantage of nice public space. But downtown isn’t just Fountain Square, and getting people over to the St. Xavier area is a nice change. I’m sure the owners of the Blue Whisp and Silverglades wouldn’t mind.
Whether you come to race, play cornhole, or drink Christian Moerlein (or all of the above) this will be a good time.
