Old WILDerness Trail (Group Run for 08/31/13)

The next group run will be Saturday, August 31 @ 8:00 a.m. The route is below, but here are the broad strokes: Old Wilderness Trail to Cedar Hill Drive to Pineur Road to Boone Trail Road to Three Forks Road, then turn around at Red House Road and head back. The total course is 12 miles (actually about 11.6, but I'll have a spur that will let anyone who wants to do the full 12 finish out); we'll have turn-arounds along the way to let people get in 3 miles, 5 miles, 7.4829 miles, or whatever they want.

We'll meet at Glenn Marshall Elementary, which is off the bypass--just take Main Street north until you get to the bypass, turn right, and the school will be about a quarter mile down on your left (Note: I need to double-check on the parking situation--so stay tuned).


As before, the red dots correspond to the following points of interest (and, by the way, the little flags w/ numbers are mile markers; note that this is an out-and-back course, so you're seeing the mile markers for both the out and back portions of the run):

1. The 1.5 mile turn-around: A creek and a cornfield. You can't miss it;
2. The 2.5 mile turn-around: The intersection of Pineur and Boone Trail;
3. A little free-range yappy dog lives here. He will bite. I hope he someday gets eaten by a cow;
4. Scenery!;
5. Scenery!;
6. Scenery!;
7. Scenery!;
8. Scenery!;
9. Scenery!; and
10. Scenery!

See you Saturday!
