Trail Running on Blanchard Mt
Calling all Trail Runners!
The GBRC is pleased to announce it's annual fun trail-run series starting mid August and running for 9 weeks. These runs will take place every Tuesday evening starting at 5:30 pm. The runs will take from 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the route. Towards the end of the series in October we will running into the dusk hours, so some runners may wish to bring along headlamps or flashlights at that time.
Runners from "expert trail runners" to "novices on the hills" are all welcome. These runs will give GBRC members a chance to try out trail running, or visit some trails you may not seen before, or just run these trails again with a great group of runners. All paces are welcome. The routes are varied from very flat to very hilly, but all are on trails. The runs will take place between 5:30 and 7:00-7:30.
This series is open for current GBRC members only. Feel free to print out a membership form and bring it to any of the runs along with your membership payment if you aren't a current member.
The runs will be hosted by a group of GBRC trail runners who want to share the fun of the trails.
