Howdy, Trail Doggies!
Welcome to July! We’re getting lucky once again as we start off one of the notoriously hotter, muggier running months of the year (I know, August sucks too!). At run time this afternoon, it’s going to be around 83 degrees with low humidity and a slight breeze. Sweeeeeet! Great weather for a post-run mingle as well. Can’t promise this every Tuesday so take it while you can get it!
OK, announcements then details
- NO OFFICIAL TRAIL RUN THIS SATURDAY. Feel free to use the FB page to organize one if you want to hit the trails with your trails buddies. Be a leader!
- 2024 marks the 10-year anniversary of Muddy Shoes? Yup, ten years ago we had our first run. To mark the occasion, we’re getting commemorative swag to celebrate. Save your money! T-SHIRTS GO ON SALE TOMORROW
- Save the Date! July 27th! The 7th Annual Muddy Shoes Summer Phat Ass on the trails of Seneca Lake! Great run followed by an awesome pot luck post-run mingle. Muddy Shoes provides burgers, dogs and tater tots. Sign up at the 7th Annual Summer Fatass page on FB.
