Please arrive @ 6:00PM and be ready to run @6:15PM

Note: Sunset is at 4:44 PM -- This run will be in full dark, so bring a headlamp and some sort of backup light.

Longer, but easy going trail run intended for ski tourer's getting in shape for ski season.   However all are welcome.   Route starts with a little hill, which we will walk up. Then the next mile and half are flatish so we will jog along to get nicely warmed up,  we then climb 900+ feet in a mile and a half with some rolls,  walking or jogging -- we will regroup at all trail intersections and  tops of hills.
The return portion will use the Clay hole trail  for much of the descent -- this trail is an old road, so a bit wider, so may be slightly easier to descend -- but with the goal of preseving knee cartalige, the trip leader will continue a modest pace on the descent.
