The excitement is mounting and it’s time to kick the snow off our mountain and get running trails!
A couple of hardy souls have been out on the course for our favorite run and the trails are looking really good…well under the snow, I assume they’re looking really good.
There is a lot of exciting news coming up for trail runs so settle in and get ready to pick whichever flavor suits you.
May 18 a bunch of us will be supporting the Goose Valley Fire Department coming up this Saturday (http://goosevalleyfire.com/572-2/ ) and yes that is my very bearded self last year with Jessica Dais.
Memorial Day Weekend we will continue a now three year old tradition with the first of two Canyon to Canyon Trail Runs. We will depart from the Tongue River Trail Head at 7AM on May 26 (Sunday, not Saturday) and will be transported to the trail head of Little Horn Canyon – Sally’s Footbridge. Then we will run from Footbridge to Dry Fork where there will be an ad hoc aid station with water and maybe sandwiches if we can pull it together. Some people will bag here and can get a ride down to TRC. Many hopefully will continue on through Upper Sheep Creek to the top of Horse Ridge and then the fast run down into Tongue River Canyon.
Then we will rinse and repeat on June 1 with some friends from Montana and anybody else insane enough to go for it again. Same story on meetups.
The more you can carpool to Tongue River Canyon, the better it will be for parking down there.
If you need more information you can email Mike at mikehornerultra@gmail.com or call/text me at 307-461-0562.
Then it’s taper time. Come on out and hit the trails with us or if you can, we still need some volunteers for rides and aid stations.
