Next race we will take the Holman Lane detour.   See the attached map.   To keep the distance the same we have a short out back section on WildWood Trail.   I will have to go mark the turn around.

Race#177 Summer Solstice Run. Sunday June 20th at 9am

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.

Race#175 Winter Solstice Dec 20th Sunday at 8am Results

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.  

 

Race#174 Autumnal Equinox (Results)

 Please send in your times.   Here is what I have so far.

 

Joe Kregal

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.

Race#173 Summer Solstice June 20th Results Updated

Here are the times I have received so far.   I ran this morning at 9am and started with Del.   It was a perfect morning for a run with a little light rain to keep you from getting too hot.

 

Results Race #172 Vernal Equinox Saturday March 21st

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.

 

Results#171 Winter Solstice Saturday at 9am

We had the best turnout of the year today with the worst race day weather of the year.   It was rainy but at least fairly warm.  Let me know if you have any corrections to the times.

We had 8 Grand Slammers this year (raced all 4 races).   Marat Cackley, Steve Cackley, Nic and Jen Lyman, Bob Mow, David Walters, Del Scharffenberg.  Be a grand slammer in 2020 and bring your friends.  We need more runners.   Next race will be Thursday March 19th at 6:15pm

 

 

Race#170 Vernal Equinox Sept 22nd

 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.
