Here's the plan and information on a baseline of experience that will be necessary. We'll meet at the HC parking lot next Saturday, Jan. 16th at 7:00 a.m. to carpool together to PW Forest (let me know if you want to/need meet us at the park instead). Bob will lead us on a 1 1/2 - 2 hour (approx.) trail run. Because of the distance, you should plan on carrying water - if you don't have a hydration belt or pack of some sort, let me know as Bob and others have extras.
New to trail running and curious if you have "what it takes"? Here's Bob's response: "If you can run/walk for an hour and you don't mind being on a trail, you should be set. The base loop I am thinking of is ~9 miles and it runs around 1:40-2hrs - combination of single track trail and service roads, but we can easily adjust the course distance to incorporate anyone interested. PWF is a gem, I will look forward to running there with the group of Christian brothers and sisters. My trail running last year really provided unique opportunities to grow in my faith. http://www.eco-xsports.com/terrapin.php is a link to an event that Dave and I both did last year...Terrapin Mountain 1/2 marathon and 50K. The 1/2 is a great intro to trail running -- challenging terrain, but a distance that is easier to get your mind around. May be of interest to anyone who has fun next weekend."
Please email me (karenegyud@gmail.com) if you plan on attending and/or if you have any questions about the run.
