Some last minute notes from last year: The trail is marked now--very well marked. This is a lovely time of
year around these parts, and the trail is fantastic fun. The forest
trees have mostly unleaved, and while this would not be considered a
technical trail,
there are
occassional rocks, roots, etc., that would otherwise be visible.
The trail is
very
well-hydrated so
don't
expect to keep your feet dry and clean. Following the recent rains,
several small stream crossings have made it a sure bet you feet will
get wet. Oh yes, the mud, the fun mud (Phil: could call this the
Mudrunium), you
will experience it.
See you all there at Fair Hill.
Race briefing at 8:45, the we start at
9:00.
