Our first week back on familiar trails did not disappoint and numerous runners took on the challenge of applying speed from the previous road courses to this week’s more technical trail course. Our lone male competitor this week Adrian Owens set the fastest time on Course A in a blazing 29 minutes! Following that ran Lindy Sargent and Ashley Nunery in 32:53 and 36:25, respectively. Shout out to Jen Schoen, this week’s lone bike who completed the course in 38:43.

Overall Results

Next week we will be running Trail Course B. A couple important notes: Follow the white signs with red arrows and start at the bottom of teaching hill at the AC end of the lower field. Set out across the lower field and up and over the cabin hill. Run straight down the hill, continuing straight on the ski trail until reaching the left turn onto Northern Borders singletrack. Follow singletrack via Northern Borders to Frog to Disappearances to Spaceman to Bullseye to Screwdriver. Take Screwdriver up, cross the ski trail over to Dental Work, then cross the ski trail to hop on Salt & Peppa. Connect to the Wiggle as you head back towards the Center. Follow to Wiggle onto the tread-in-trail on the far edge of the upper field to finish behind the new Event Shed. View pdf map here.
