Hey Muddy Shoe-zers!
Well, it’s a nice Fall morning out there for ya. Weather looks great this Sunday for a nice jaunt out on the awesome trails of MoCo. Of course, first weekend in November always brings us the Muddy Shoes Phantastic Phall Phat Ass Trail Haph (Half, get it?) Marathon and Taper Run. Phew, that’s a mouthful. Anyway, this will be the 8th year in a row we’ve doneit and it’s always been a phantastic time! You get to touch your feet on a whole bunch of MoCo single-track such as Lake Needwood, the phamous Redland Trails and the Ag Farm to boot! All for the price of $5! What a deal!
You can do the complete 13.1-ish miles or we have a 10k option as well.
This is a perfect taper run for all you Stone Mill 50 milers or anyone else with an endurance event coming up next weekend. Time to relax from all the rigorous training miles and just loosen up your legs and have some fun on the trails. We don’t give out prizes but there will be some good stuff to nibble on afterwards as we do a post-run mingle! Feel free to bring a dish to pass as we’ll all be hungry1
