Trail Shoes: Would You Bring a Knife to a Gunfight?

By D.C. Lucchesi



If you’ve been putting off running because you think it’s hard on your joints, you’ve got one less excuse.  According to the September 2009 issue of Harvard Men’s Health Watch, the famed Framingham study conducted between 1993 and 2005 found no link between exercise and arthritis of the knee. In fact, the most active people in this study were shown to have the same risk of arthritis as the least active. A separate Australian study went one step further to prove that people who performed the most vigorous weight-bearing exercise had the thickest, healthiest knee cartilage. In 2008, another study, which compared runners to non-runners, found little evidence that exercise causes arthritis.  So what are you waiting for? Lace up those sneakers!


Our 2010 Event Guide is your road map for the upcoming season.  From walks to ultramarathons to iron-distance triathlons and open water swims, we have packed more than 800 events into the current 2010 Endurance Magazine event guide.  We thank all of those race directors who were able to submit their events to SPORToften.com to be listed in this guide.  Not all events for 2010 are listed, as many race dates were still to be determined when we went to press with the print issue.  Remember to watch for newly added events as well as possible date or location changes in upcoming issues of Endurance Magazine and at our event registration site SPORToften.com - the premiere regional event community resource.
