Details

You read it right folks, we're taking the high road this week with a spectacular route from Upper Saltzman (not to be confused with the lowly Lower Saltzman). Wake up early on the 109th day of the year and join us as we drop down winding forest lanes for a lollipop connecting Leif and Wildwood Trail in the heart of forest park!

All paces are welcome - run the hills, hike, it's up to you! We'll regroup at major intersections to make sure we all make it back for coffee and a cappella performances.

We start running at 9:05, give or take a few mins in case half of us drive to Lower Saltzman on accident (don't u dare do it!).

The route
5.9 blistering miles with a couple gradual hills to keep things interesting. See the route on Alltrails!

Does a 3.9 mile route hit the spot this week? Check it out on Sometrails!

Where to meet
! - Carpool if you can!! Ryan Dunham's minivan can comfortably hold eight.
We'll meet at Upper Saltzman Rd trailhead, located off NW Skyline Blvd.

!! - Please note that parking is tiiiight at the trailhead. There is more parking available north and across Skyline where Saltzman Rd. continues. #$%BEWARE%$# We kindly ask all participants to exercise caution and be mindful when crossing the road, especially as it is on a curve. Remember, you are responsible for your own safety! We're rooting for you!

What to bring

  • Coffee mug
  • Aprés-run coffee drinking wardrobe
  • Your grippiest running shoes
  • Your grippiest grippy socks
  • Your grippe (Jk)

Afterwards
As always, we will bring post-run coffee. If you have a snack you want to share, great! But there's no expectation – just bring yourself and come run with us!

See you there! #WhenTheyGoLowerWeGoUpper
