Hey Trail Joggers,
Ready for a Saturday Trail run with Muddy Shoes? Betcha can’t wait cuz they are soooo much fun! Weather will be fine so nothing to worry about there. We’ll be doing a loopty-loop course starting at Riffle Ford Road and heading South on the Greenway to Black Rock Mill and then back up the other side of the creek on the Seneca Ridge Trail to the start. Hopefully the three amigos (if you know, you know) will be there getting ready for Cinco de Mayo!
BTW, did you know that Saturday is National 420 Day? There will be a Muddy Shoes bong next to the water jugs at the turn around! (No…not really!) And I dare you to try the Gummy Bears on the snack table!
As usual, first announcements then details:
- HEY!!!! Registration is open for the 14th 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/
- Did I mention that 2024 marks the 10-year anniversary of Muddy Shoes? Yup, ten years ago we had our first run. To mark the occasion, we will be getting some commemorative swag to celebrate. Stay tuned. Save your money! T-shirts are coming?!
- Muddy Shoes Saturday Trail Runs have started! We pick up where the Winter Trail Program left 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 sent out each Friday.
- We have swag! Muddy Shoes Baseball caps (a mere $15), Buffs ($10) and Reusable Cups ($5). See Coach Phil or Coach Mike (Chau)
