Until next week

This week's 1/26/10 fun run (or ski) is cancelled.  With the generous snow we received over the last several days, we will almost assuredly be visiting Lester next week for skate skiing.  Be sure to get out and enjoy all the new white stuff on your own.

See you next week!

Running the Trails

When: Tuesday, January 12 @ 5:30PM
Where: East Duluth Snowmobile Trailhead Lot
            (Martin and just NW of Vermillion)
Duration: 60 to 90 minutes
Weather: Low of 17F (NWS) - Heat Wave!
Required Gear:
  • Trail shoes with good traction, Yak Trax, or Ice Bugs
  • Headlamp (extras will be available)
Description:  Due to the marginal ski conditions reported recently on SkinnySki, we are going to continue with running trails this week.  Like last week, we are going to brave the snowmobile trails in and around the City limits.  The two main benefits of using these trails are 1) they are not overly technical and 2) they allow runners to run at least two abreast.  Come if you are looking for a fun run and good conversation. 

If there is interest afterwards, we will grab some grub afterwards to cool down and refuel! Regulars and first-timers (+ guests) are all welcome.
