President's Day Group Run @ Umstead

For many of us, Monday is a holiday. Scott and I are going to Umstead State Park in Raleigh on Monday morning for our long run. There is a good chance Frank may join us too. We plan to do 20, before a three week taper for the Umstead Marathon. We have posted a message on the NC Roadrunner club site too, so there could be several others. We would love to have more RMEC folks join us.

We will leave from Camp Lapihio in the park, and try to use as many trails from the race course as possible. There are several turn-arounds on the route, so do not feel like you need to run 20 miles to join us. You can run as much or as little as you would like.

Although this is a very hilly route, most of it is on packed cinder. It is not nearly as much single track as Medoc. In other words, it has hills, but good footing. If people are interested, please post a comment, and we can work out some driving arrangements. Thanks!

    Running at 8:00 am, so we would probably leave Rocky Mount by 7:50.
