Mud Grand Prix

We had a great turnout for the Summer Solstice run with 5 new runners and one of our fastest fields in quite some time.  It was a warm night.   Thanks to Fiona and Del for bringing cookies.

Invite your friends & family for the Fall race we will have the rare oppurtonity to start on the exact time of the Autumn Equinox at 6:03pm.

We had a few hardy runners turn out for today's race.   Very cold 35 ish, with light rain starting half way thru the race.    After the downpour the previous night I thought the trail would have been worse but still plenty slipperly going down Dogwood.   A few downed trees but easy to get over.

We again had to take the Holman Lane Detour.  

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.

 Updated results.    Added Ellie and Dean

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.
