- April 17th - Laurel Run Ascent - 11 mile trail run. Kingsport, TN. They changed this to a spring race. 5 1/2 up the mountain. Turn around and run down!
- September 4th - Iron Mountain Trail Run (16, 30, 50 miles), Damascus, VA. Frank has never done this . . . but he knows the area. Challenging but beautiful!
- September 18th - Bay's Mountain 15 mile Trail Run . Several of us did this last year. Very neat place to run.
- October 9th - New River Trail 50k, near Galax, VA (Frank has already signed up) He has never run this but hears it is well run and flat for a 50k!

Jon and I are definitely interested in Bay's Mountain. We did this race last year, and it was awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in trying an ultra but not certain my ankles would do well on a rough trail.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the Run for Roses 5k in a couple weeks. This will be a good tune up for the Sweetheart 5k
ReplyDeleteTracy . . . I haven't done the New River Trail 50k . . . but I understand it is not very technical at all. Check out Annette's website for a description of the trail.

Triple Lakes Race is a trail race on Oct 9th in Greensboro. (Same day as the New River Trail 50k). They have a half marathon, marathon and 40 miler option. I have been toying with the idea of training for the 40 miler, but haven't committed to it yet. Anyone want to train? I might use the New River 50k as an excuse to skip the Triple Lakes 40M.

I'm interested in the New River Trail 50k. Have even got potential babysitters lined up . . .
