This is short but fun run that is more or less all up or all down.  There is a mix of floaty forest trails and open rocky talus fields.  We will discuss strategies for managing mixed terrain.   Please come prepared to have fun, learn, and meet new people!

We will meet at the Dirty Harry's Balcony TH (https://maps.app.goo.gl/9xJgKY2Y1wEgM4CX6) at 6 pm.  Please be ready to go at or near that time.
