Meet Location: 26th Ave E Lakewalk Parking Lot (look for the black Honda Element)
Distance: 6 miles +/- with an optional extra loop
Weather: High 40's and no rain
Suggested Gear: Headlamp
With all of the rain over the last two weeks, the trails are saturated, so we'll be hitting the pavement this week. We have used variations of this western Lakewalk route multiple times because it caters to multiple paces - if you are faster, you get to participate in ramp and step challenges while the rest of the pack catches up. This will be an out and back to the lighthouse. For those looking for a few extra miles, we will tack on a extra loop heading east, perhaps as far as the end of the new extension.
Two other points of interest. First, we will run rain or shine. If there is lightning or a blizzard, we will cancel and post a cancellation notice on the blog no later than noon on the day of the run. Second, I am including a vote on the right section of the blog. We are considering post-run activities to increase group fellowship opportunities, but only if there is sufficient interest. Thanks!

Meet Location: Lester Park - Lower Lot {Map}
Activity: Trail run
Distance: 6 miles +/-
Weather: Mid 40's, slight chance of rain
Suggested Gear: Headlamp and trail shoes
Last week, someone mentioned the newer trails down at Lester. We are always up for ideas and trails we've never tromped, so this will be a fun explorative run in some ways.
With the late start, we ended up literally in the dark at last week's run. Please bring a headlamp if you own one. Nearly any store has them these days (Home Depot, Target, Gander Mountain), but I'd recommend stopping at the Duluth Running Co. to pick one up. Clint and Andrea have always been super supportive of the running community and their shop is unparalleled for customer service. We will bring a few extras if you aren't ready to invest in a headlamp of your own.
As always, friends, family, and newbies are always welcome.

Ridge Run
Date: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 @ 5:30 PM
Meet Location: Hawk's Ridge on E Skyline Pkwy {Map} {Street View}
Activity: Trail run
Distance: 6 miles +/-
Weather: Low 40's
This will be an out & back run along the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT) spur trail starting at Hawk's Ridge. We'll continue along the main SHT until we reach Martin Rd, at which point we will turn around. It made for a beautiful night run by headlamp last year, so I'm looking forward to taking in the daytime version.
If we fall short on mileage, we may tack on a section of the trail that heads toward Hartley.
See you Tuesday. Remember, guests are always welcome!

Chance of Rain
Date: Tuesday, October 6, 2009 @ 5:30 PM
Activity: Cancelled
Weather: Mid 30's with 70% chance of rain
Between the upcoming forecast and a potential last minute conflict, we are going to push the Fun Run back to next week (10/13). We apologize for the cancel after only being back 1 week, but be ready to make up for it!
