Hey Forest Joggers!
I’m trying to wrap my head around the fact that there were snowflakes in the air and I was freezing my n*%#s off on Sunday and then today it will hit 70 degrees. That’s March in the DMV for ya. But, lo and behold, it’s also the 2nd Tuesday of this transitional month which means Outta the Way Café! Woot! Woot! Let’s get those evening trail miles in and then we can head over and grab some chow and suds. Oh, and we might yap about trail running!
Oh, congrats to all the Seneca Greenway runners. What a sloppy, soggy day it was! Way 2 go!
OK, announcements then the details:
- HEY YOU!!!! Registration is open for the 13th Annual Farm Park Challenge Endurance Event and Marathon. Mark your calendars for May 4th (go ahead and say it, you Star Wars freaks – May the 4th be with you!)! Located in the center of Montgomery County at the Agricultural Farm Park in the budding metropolis of Derwood! Pick your poison – 3 hour, 6 hour or 10 hour trail challenges or the marathon. Race day volunteers are also needed. It’s always been a great day to come run and hang out at a beautiful venue with some of your filthiest trails buds. More info on registering to run or volunteer here http://farmparkchallenge.com/
- Mark your calendars! Muddy Shoes Saturday Trail Series starts April 6th! We pick up where the Winter Trail Program leaves off. Regular Saturday runs that take us to trails and venues that you might not have seen in a larger group. We also provide after-run refreshments (remember ice cold mini-Cokes and pickle chips?) and chit-chat. Mingle with your trail besties! Keep an eye out for details as we get closer to the date.
- We have swag! Muddy Shoes Baseball caps (a mere $15), Buffs ($10) and Reusable Cups ($5). See Coach Phil or Coach Mike (Chau)
