8-10 beautiful miles! Not too fast, not too slow, just right!
Dana will be running 20-24 (that's where the "not too fast" part comes into play) and would love company! Hope to see you there!

Back and hotter than ever, Hotfoot Hamster returns to Nardini Manor 2024!

Test your endurance and see how far you can run in 6 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours at the ideal flat and fast custom built gravel running track at the historic Nardini Manor. This is one of two chances this year to participate in a running event on this unique ultra runner built course!

We'll have a fully stocked aid station directly on course and you can setup trackside for ultimate convenience.

The USATF Certified 500 meter course is perfect for your first ultra or for a personal best. The Hotfoot Hamster is a classic fixed time ultra that is sure to be a fun time with new friends.

Every Saturday morning at 7:30 we're holding a community 5k event on the Jan Alfano Trail at Willow Lake. Drive straight through the dog park parking and there's a trailhead with friendly volunteers, runners, and walkers there to enjoy a 5k out and back on a mild trail.

Find more details and sign up at [https://www.parkrun.us/janalfanotrail/](https://www.parkrun.us/janalfanotrail/) you'll need a barcode from signing up in order to receive a time. There are no winners or losers, but you will receive a time if you have a barcode.

I am going to be doing workouts on the track every Monday for the month of June. If you are interested in running on the track for some speed work or just some flat miles, I will be there. The best way to get on the track is to park in the back where students usually park and go in the back of the school to the track. Then there are no gates that will be locked. If you have any questions message me.

Welcome to the 9th annual Big Pine Trail Runs at Fort Tuthill County Park!
Runners will get to experience both the Soldiers Trail and Highlands Trail Loop (6 Km runners will only run on a partial Soldiers Trail loop) which winds through the ponderosa pines above 7,000 ft, eventually topping out on a mesa with expansive views of mountain landscapes before being enveloped back into the trees.
