My dog Kiah and I have ran this race two other times. First time in the snow and we covered 12 miles. The second time we ran 15 miles together and she decided to lay down. To finish the race in the 3 hours I carried her the last mile through the finish line for a total of 16 miles. Let's see how many miles Kiah and I can cover tomorrow morning. There is a chance of rain which makes running on the trail that much better!
This unique race will be a six hour or three hour timed run taking place on mostly flat, rock and root free, single track trails on the western side of Turkey mountain. The run will start March 17, 2013 at 9:00 am, and finish at either noon or 3:00 pm. The course will head northwest from the old upper parking lot following some of the trails used in the Turkey and Taturs race, then north onto the Snake Trail. These are some of the smoothest and easiest trails on the "mountain". We also have taken great pains to remove all of the larger snakes from the course. Just kidding. Actually, the snake trail gets its name because it winds around like a snake, not because of an infestation of slithery reptiles!
You will run 2.1, and then return and run the trail in reverse
to the start/finish area.
There will be 2 aid stations, one at the start finish area near
the upper parking lot, and one at the turnaround. You do not
have to run for the entire six or three hours. You can
run one out and back, run until you complete a 5k. 10k, half marathon, a
marathon or a 50K if you're real fast. First 250 entrants will receive a long
sleeve technical fabric T-shirt with a vicious looking snake adorning the front.
You also will receive a medal that will have a front row row spot in your trophy
case.
You can choose to run a very short out and back during the last
hour for those not able to complete a full 4.2 mile out-and-back circuit. The
winner is the one who after 6 or 3 hours covers the most miles. You can choose
to run one circuit, then sleep for an hour and do another etc.
