Mud Grand Prix

We had a very warm day but a great turnout.   It was fun to chat with everyone after the race.

We need more runners so invite a friend to the Autumn Equinox race.   Since we have so few runners now put the race on your calendar and hopefully you can run in person.

Hi All

We had a great run this morning, the rain was not that bad just a light drizzle most of the race.   The course was also in good shape considering how much rain we had, but Dogwood was slippery.

We had a great turnout for inperson race.  14 runners at the start with a 4 new runners.

Please send in your time if you haven't already or if you have corrections.    In the rain it was hard to read my writing.

Next race I hope to run more like normal with a timer.  

Del sent me this link on some info about Joe Kregal.   He passed away about a week ago.

Joe was a long time runner of the MGP.  I looked back thru the results and first time running the MGP for Joe was in the Winter Solstice run in 1995.   Says he took the "Longer Course" so I assume like a lot of first time runners he missed a turn.

Well we ran today on a beautiful sunny morning.    We had 11 people total with 5 starting early at various times and 6 at the regular start.   We all spread out at the start.   The MGP has never been cancelled so nice to be able to run it in a safe way still.  There were many people out hiking and running on the trails.   

If you didn't make it, you can always go run the course and email me a time and I will add it to the results.

 We had a fun night last night.   Had a downpour at the start but it lasted only 10 minutes and we had nice weather for watching the Swifts after the race.
