Love nature? Like to get dirty? Muddy? Wet? Then let's hit the trails!
Primary runs will be weekends on the Bull Run - Occoquan Trail. Trailheads and distances will vary depending on time of day, trail/weather conditions, and participants experience. I'm currently at a beginner to intermediate distance and time (about 11:00 / mile) but always increasing and challenging. Will always be a mixture of both short and long runs with the "Run/Walk" method of training used.
Each person will be responsible for their own water, food, and transportation.
As the group grows we can explore other areas such as Burke Lake and W&OD Trail.
[PS...the dirty-muddy-wet part is only if we go out after/in bad weather...Mostly very clean, safe, and pleasant time]
If you are not running it you may want to come out and Volunteer. You will get a free shirt and 15 dollars off the next race. Or just come out and check it out if you are curious. All the runners are great and EX2 puts on a excellent race. Directions to all location at the link below:
