Announcements
I made some changes to the newsletter, hopefully for the better.
- There’s an announcements section sometimes, I’ll try to put when great new events come onto the calendar, etc
- Only 60 days of events are listed
- PATR events are listed first, then other events of interest, rather than mixed together

<br>
<details class="collapsible">
<p>
<p>PLEASE READ THIS DESCRIPTION. <br>
For this week we will run the side trails around Willow Lake. There are a lot of side trails through that most people never run. Jim mapped out about 5.2 miles from the dog park. It is through some trees and very close to the lake. We will cover 3 sides of Willow Lake on mostly flat trails.
This is a no-drop group run and we will stop at every intersection and allow everyone to catch up before we continue running - all paces welcome :)
We will meet at the trailhead by the dog park off of Willow Creek Rd.
Parking location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gzgqpmZEDwNHbpMQ7 (will copy in comments to make it easier to copy/paste)
Jim is leading! (Thank you Jim!)

<br>
<details class="collapsible">
<p>
<p>PLEASE READ THIS DESCRIPTION. <br>
This is a new trail recently created! Jim is one of the volunteers who works on creating trails and will be taking us for a run on some of the new additions near the Peavine trail!
The run will be to the new Splash Trail. We will meet at the Peavine trailhead and run out 1.5 miles to the Easter Island trail. After a quarter mile up hill, we will turn on the splash trail which is about .9 miles, the last third up hill. (I plan on taking a half mile detour on a new trail that we are still working on off the Splash trail.) Once at the top of the splash trail, we have about a mile, mostly down hill back to the Peavine trail, and then a mile on the Peavine back to the parking lot. About 5 miles total, but a good variety of up and down hill.
No drop run (we stop for everyone at every intersection).
We will meet here at the Peavine trailhead by the Humane Society: https://g.co/kgs/AFHtnxk
Jim is leading! (Thank you Jim!)
Expect 4-6 miles.
