Locals Prowl the Sproul in Hyner Pa

153 runners turned out Saturday July 14th at the West Clinton Sportsman Association clubhouse outside of Renovo Pa, better known as the host of the Hyner View Trail Challenge every April, for the 7^th annual running of the Prowl the Sproul 10k.

Temperatures in the upper sixties at the start of the race, along with generally dry trail conditions made for some very fast times. Twenty-four year old Matt Lipsey defended his own title and set a new course record with his blistering 47:10 finish, on a course with a whopping 1,600ft of climb, and a corresponding 1,600ft of elevation loss.

The local contingent was led by John Johnson in 2^nd place and Jeffery Shanks in 11^th, though the day isn’t really about competition and no awards are given.

Also in attendance from the VRC coverage area were: Brian Kunkle, Christopher Coon, John Shanks, Tabby Dunn, Mike Meagher, Brian Dunn, Maria Schreiber, Hilary Mcilroy, Sebrina Deleree and Amey Johnson

At the finish line, where they milled about for the next hour cheering for fellow competitors as they rolled in, runners were treated to free food and drink. This year’s $25 race entry included a Sproul 10k t-shirt and Merino Wool trail running socks made by Wigwam.

Bike Tioga

When: August 9th, 2014
What: 20, 40 and 60 mile bike rides
Website: Here
Facebook Page: Here

This August 9th, the 12th Annual Bike Tioga event is planned and is designed to promote healthy living, while displaying the county's natural beauty and local businesses. Bike Tioga is not a race; in fact, riders are encouraged to stop along the way and take their time. Picnic lunches and local farms have been popular stops in the past, and the event has always emphasized a relaxed, fun environment.

This year we will launch the event from Waverly, NY, with new rides and new views throughout Tioga County, NY.

Emily VanScoy, the Americorps service member who coordinated the event last year with Tioga Tourism said, "Last year's event attracted many visitors to the area. Out of 115 participants, 79 cyclists were from outside Tioga County and 14 were out of state." Cyclists commented on the natural beauty of the county, which was made even better by the cooperative weather. Beautiful clear skies with just the right amount of wind -enough to keep cyclists cool, but not enough to make the ride more difficult- gave the whole day an exciting air. The participants also took advantage of the Body Lab massage therapists who were on-site. The free 10-minute massages were an especially big hit with the 104-mile riders!
