Mud Grand Prix

We had a beautiful night and very dry and fast course tonight.   Fiona Cundy set the fastest women's time ever run on the course beating the old course record by two seconds.   The course record was set on the same night 32 years earlier.

Thanks to Jen for bringing the excellent bars, they were a big hit last night.

The next race is Sunday Sept 22nd

We had an excellent turn out yesterday and a nice morning to race.   A perfect way to start the Holiday Season.   

Thanks to all of you who invited your friends, please invite more for the Vernal Equinox run.   Thanks to Jen for bringing the ginger bread.

Please note any corrections.   Unfornately I lost the originial post on this race when the website was moved.  Thank-you GoDaddy.

Well we had one of our best turnouts for the final race of the year, 20 runners.   We had a very cool but dry morning, perfect day to race.

We had seven grand slammers (ran all four races), Steve Cackley, E David Granum, Bill McCracken, Bob Mow, Del Scharffenberg, Mack Stilson, and David Walters.

I didn't check but Del believes Mack is the first runner to win all four races in one year.

Hi All

We had a wonderful night for a race.   Sunny and dry and not to warm.  Portland Parks had closed Lower Macleay trail and had fenced it off with a chain link fence so we took a detour.  I kept the course the same length, going up to Holman Lane to hit Wild Wood and then to keep the distance the same we did an out and back towards the Stone Hult.   Since we added an extra hill many thought this was a tougher course than normal.  It was nice to have the out and back on Wild Wood to see more of the runners.
