Leader's notes

Late season, fall backcountry trail run via the Thorp Creek Trail.

The plan is to slow jog up the beginning flat, power hike the steeper up, chill at an awesome fire tower (this is also part of the Teanaway 20), then safely run down. There is an option to include the lake as well. Pray for good weather, maybe even a brisk fall chill. Will run in reasonable rain, but cancel for significant, miserable rain.

Route may change pending forest fires.

Dogs allowed on leash if communicated prior.

An additional email will be sent after registration closes. In the mean time please reach out with any questions.
