1 month to go and registrations are coming in steady now..the 1/2 and 5M walk are more popular than we ever thought possible

get your reg. in so we can reserve you the right size shirt and and dont pass up the chance to take part in the most scenic run/walk around

we have the mile marks all marked and the junctions flagged and are giving more course previews than the norm..hope this means it will be a good yr...

hoping for rain and cool temps

hot july 8th

it was a hot hot trail run this morning
trail are drying out until the rain comes in
and then we have some good mud

trail obstacles are all around
and fun to run over under around and through
and when you get to the deep horse tracks it is a nice little
monkey balance walk
and a good way to strengthen the ankles

time to go to work

happy trails all you runners, walkers and hikers

hi folks
on Wed July 8, we showed the race course to the park staff (Brent- great guy!) and they will make sure it is open as and cleaned of fallen trees and the brush all trimmed back before race day!
The staff at Barkcamp State Park has been great to us every year since we started in helping us out..Thanks guys and Jackie and Kay too!

In another interesting development we are now the warm up race for the Bobcat Marathon on Nov 7 and the Bigfoot 50K on Dec 5. The Bobcat is at Burr Oak State Park and the Bigfoot at Salt Fork SP. Next year we are hoping to have a sort of state park trail running series going on!

Great to see trail running finally attracting a bigger crowd around our state!

Stay hydrated and be careful out there running / walking

Hi everyone,

Wishin all a great and safe Fourth of July. It's gonna be a warm and beautiful day.

Happy Fourth

hi folks,
it was quite a hot ogden 20k in good old wheeling wv last saturday, we survived but it reminded me why i like to walk and run in the woods with some shade at times, cause that sun was whipping on us hard and plenty of humidity.

but boy i love that course with all its hill climbs..kinda like a trail run that way.

a few days off now and we will be moving towards beginning to train for the bobcat marathon in burr oak state park in november.,,26.2 on the trails--woo hoo!

you all have a great day and stay hydrated out there!

rod
