Its Autumn, And The Trails Are Lovely

Autumn is the best season of the year as far as I'm concerned. The local trails are looking particularly beautiful so far in 2020, and its the kind of beauty that no amount of politics and pandemics can cover up. I captured this video at Two Rivers State Park / Waverly Glen Park earlier this week on a "rest day," that was more or less just an excuse to haul my new camera out of the house and enjoy the scenery a little more slowly than on a typical training day. If you haven't been up to "the glen" recently you may be surprised by some of the changes. The state seems to finally be making some strides as far as trail marking and maintenance go, as meanwhile in the town park you'll find new bathroom facilities, a rebuilt large pavilion, along with current ongoing work on the tennis courts and main entrance. If you do visit in the coming weeks be sure to throw on some orange, as limited archery and muzzleloding hunting is allowed in portions of the park (though in 15 years I've encountered very few hunters.)

Be sure to subscribe to my youtube channel (by clicking here) for more enticing videos in the near future, but more importantly be sure to get outside and get off road while the getting is good.

Ridge Trail Time Trials

Introducing the RIDGE TRAIL TIME TRIALS at Mt. Pisgah State & County Parks

Participants will compete to ascend Mt. Pisgah from the pool-side pavilion to the Chief Wetona statue atop Mt. Pisgah and back down.

HOW THIS WORKS:

Over the course of the summer (June 1st thru August 31st), anyone who wants to test their resolve on Mt. Pisgah can time themselves running from the pool-side pavilion, up the Ridge Trail, to the Chief Wetona statue, turn around and descend back down to the pool-side pavilion.  Report your time to the Facebook page here (Facebook Group).  You may run this as many times as you like to try to improve your time.  These times will be used to seed you against other runners. 

On Labor Day morning (Monday, September 7th)  anyone who would like to participate can then run the trials.  Starting with the slowest seeded runner, we will send 1 runner out every 2 minutes to run to the Chief and back.  This will continue until the last and fastest seeded runner is out.  Once every one returns we'll have a post race party!

Party On Pisgah 24hr Relay Race

Update: Event Cancelled due to Covid 19

Get Ready!

Party on Pisgah is a 24 hour relay race. Come out, have fun, run amazing trails and hang out with awesome trail peeps! The goal is simple, run as many loops as possible in 24 hours. The team with the most loops completed is the winner. It's a relay, so one team member out at a time, and you cycle through the team. If your team needs a break, you can stop. You don't have to have a runner on the trail at all times! Just get back out then when you're ready!

There will be one loop and the loop will be about 3.45 miles in length (as of now).

Teams can be 2-4 people. There is also a solo option for the 24 hours! The limit for total teams is 25 and for solo runners it is also 25.

Cost will be $50 a person for the relay, and $65 for solo. There will be space at Pisgah County Park for camping for the weekend starting Friday night.
