In Sunday's Fit column we told you about upcoming 5K races in the region, what with spring being prime time for race season. If you know of a race we don't have, we said, send it in and we'll add it to our online compilation. Which is just what Clemellyn Welch has done. "Please ad our 5K run and 50K/100K bike ride to your online list," Clemellyn requested. Request granted. Announcing,
