Sports Round-Up by Paul Beitler

Sign up for revised Parlor City Trot
The Ouabache River Runners have announced several changes for the upcoming 35th Parlor City Trot. The most significant involves moving the date of the race to Sept. 5. In addition, a 10-mile race will be added to the schedule, which includes a half-marathon and a 10-kilometer event.
The date was changed because of a conflict with the Fort 4 Fitness Festival on Sept. 26 in Fort Wayne.
Trot race entry forms are available at the Oupatient Rehabilitation Clinic in Bluffton Regional Medical Center’s South Campus, Hot Cakes and FPC.
