SATURDAY TRAIL RUN AND FOREST THERAPY SESSION
Hey There Trail Dudes and Dudettes,
Ready for our first Saturday run of September? Mother Nature will be taking care of us with a run time temp of about 70 degrees but with a slight uptick in the humidity. Still, kinda sweet for this time of year in these parts.
Now, we are swinging back to the fringe of Moco with a final Summer visit to Patuxent River State Park. A tribe favorite not only because of the beautiful trails and ample parking but also for its proximity to one of the 10 best burger joints in the DMV, Sunrise General Store (sorry, non-meat eaters!) for a little belly-filling post run (Cheeseburger with everything for me, please!)
We are winding down with our Summer trail series. Only a couple more to go before we start the Stone Mill runs. Still looking for someone to lead a run on the 20th as I’ll be beaching it and Coach Audrey will be leading on the 28th. Then we head into the SM50 previews, Phall Phat Ass and on to Winter Trails! Lots to look forward to!
OK, announcements then run details:
Muddy Shoes swag is still available at pre-tariff prices! We got Hats ($15), Buffs ($10) and Re-usable Cups ($5). See Coach Phil.
We have the world-famous Muddy Shoes SM50 Course Preview Runs coming up in October as well as the Phantastic Phall Phat Ass Haph Marathon and 10k the weekend before Stone Mill (great taper run!). Come out and get a look at a different section of the course each Saturday in October. Do all four runs, you’ll see the whole course. Come join us even if you aren’t doing Stone Mill. Everyone is welcome! Donations appreciated. Lots of good trail fun.
