hi folks
make sure you check out our new "race certification"! I think you will find that you can more faith in courses now. :)

sure do hope it cools enough to run in relative comfort one day soon without rain coming down to cool us!

the intelligencer is coming out for an interview with us tomorrow for the Debbie Green newspaper thing you get at that race...Ronnie has helped us so much! Thanks Ron! A story bout us hicks in the sticks will make the big city of Wheeling, WV....hope i look good in the pic so i dont scare any walkers, runners, or children away

you all have a good day

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
