My Muddy Shoes

Hey Joggers of the Forest,

The last weekend of Summer is coming up! It’s a 3-Day and we got a double whammy planned for ya! We’ll be having the regular run on Saturday morning (Cabin John this week) and a bonus trail run/trailhead clean up on Monday morning at Redland. Great way to wrap up the Summer and head into Fall.

Momma Nature once again sees us in her good graces and we will have nice weather this weekend (I must have pissed her off this past week to get those record-breaking temps! So sorry!). On Saturday it will still be humidity but run time temps should be around 70 degrees. Monday is forecast to be scrumptious! Lower temps and humidity!

OK, so, announcements then run details:

– T-SHIRTS! T-SHIRTS! T-SHIRTS! Get’em while they’re hot! The 10-Year Anniversary shirts are flying off the shelves! Very comfortable uni-sex moisture-wicking shirts that fit true-to-size with a custom design (Thanks to KLD Design https://www.kld-design.com) on the front and one of our Muddy Shoes mantras on the back. What are ya waiting for? These shirts aren’t gonna order themselves!

– Labor Day Trail Run and Clean Up at Redland. Hosted by Coach Roberta. Run first, then clean up the woods around the trail head. Gloves, garbage bags and refreshments provided. Good chance to give back to the trails!

Now, for the Saturday details:

Location: Cabin John playground parking lot

Address: 7400 Tuckerman Ln, Bethesda, MD 20817

Course: In a nutshell, run from the parking lot all the way down to MacArthur Blvd., turn around and come back. There’s a lot more to it than that (i.e road crossings, etc.) that we will explain in the pre-run brief. Better pay attention! Check out the caltopo for a good map of the route.

Caltopo: https://caltopo.com/m/6PCV  ; includes extra 3 mile top loop for those wanting to add on.

Distance:  ~14 miles round trip (feel free to do shorter)

Pace: Fast, slow and in-between

Vibe: Chill…actually, sweaty. Yup, sweaty.

Hope to C U there cuz THESE TRAILS AIN’T GONNA RUN THEMSELVES!

Namaste,

Muddy Shoes
