Stopping along the trail to take in the views
this looks like a great event. Nice to bring Ian, in, too. I’m going to check and see if I can make it.
Thanks! Its not an event but a trip that I’m marketing to all runners. Its a trail running trip I hope to develop more & more with different areas to run and hopefully other great elite runners as guest. I have a Kokopelli permit so im going to offer a 100k distance over 4or 5 days, this trip will have a support vehicle with all of our food,water,gear etc… We will camp along the 100k and see many sites along the way. Thanks for your comment.
