Hey Forest Joggers and Root Chuckers,

Did you check the calendar? It’s the second Tuesday of the month which means it’s an Outta The Way Café night! Time for a post-run mingle and chow down at one of our favorite gathering places. Oh…almost forgot… first we have to do that run-thingamajig.

So, we will be doing something slightly different so we can get done in time for dinner. Round the lake with only the Troll Trail. This will still be almost 6 miles if you include the warm up.

This might be the last nice weather we get for a while on a Tuesday. Heat dome is a-coming. C’mon out and enjoy it while you can!

As usual, announcements then details:

  • 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 commemorative swag to celebrate. Stay tuned. Save your money! T-shirts are coming?!
  • Muddy Shoes Saturday Trail Runs are ongoing! 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)
