About the Honest Abe 4.6 Miler
The Honest Abe is part of a long-running winter series put on by a local running club. The name is a nod to Abraham Lincoln's birthday, though the organizers cheerfully admit the timing does not quite line up. That self-aware humor sets the tone for what this series is all about.
Non-members can show up and register on race day without any prior signup. Those who want to compete for awards need to meet a series requirement that includes both racing and volunteering. Full series membership registration opens each fall.
