This Weekend's Starting Line

Eric Charette and ultra running partner Rob Youngren will attempt to set a speed record for traversing the entire 335 mile Pinhoti Trail starting this Saturday. The goal is to complete this challenge in 7 days or less at 50-60 miles per day on some very technical terrain with just one crewman. You can follow their progress via Eric's blog he created for this epic adventure.

Amber Moran will be down in Columbia, SC at the Women's Heart and Sole 5 miler this Saturday. Last year Amber was 3rd OA in a competitive field. DeWayne Satterfield will be racing a tough road ultra at the Strolling Jim 40+ mile race in Wartrace, TN. We have several NE mountain runners tackling the 7 Sisters Trail Race on Sunday and all will more than likely be in the mix up front. Kevin Tilton, Ben Nephew and Abby Mahoney are taking on this tough 12 mile out/back race with 3700' of climb. Dewey Peacock will be at the big Bloomsday 12k in Spokane, WA. Dwight Shuler will be racing the May Day Biathlon in Morganton, NC. The May Day course consists of a pretty flat 5k run followed by a hilly 30k road bike ride.
