Who's up for a trip to one of the best trail running events in the country?

Oh, and it is also an USATF 2015 50 Mile Trail Championship, so we'll run with some of the best US trail runners.

Race website is www.cayugatrails50.com (https://www.cayugatrails50.com/)

Registration spots are still available if you didn't sign up yet. The race is on Sunday, May 31st.

Because 50-mile race starts very early (at 6am), it is not practical to drive there directly from NYC (over 4 hours drive), so here is an alternative plan that includes some CAMPING:

We will pick you up on Saturday morning in NYC in one of 3 locations (SoHo, Columbus Circle, or GW Bridge). There will be 6 or 7 people total going on this trip in our huge RawMobile.

From NYC we'll head out to a great campsite near the race start. I will arrange the camping spot at a campground, provide a tent and sleeping gear for everyone. I'll also bring tons of fruit.

Once arrived, we'll pick up the race packets and can check out the course and pre-race activities.

Next morning, on the race day, we'll get up around 5am, pack up, and get to the race start (6 am).

After the race, tired but happy, we all together will head back to the city in the evening, sharing our battle stories.

Please send me a meetup message if you'd like to reserve a spot, there are only few left.
