OK, so this is our first go-around at this unknown (at least to me) tool called Blogging. Last night the office had a presence at the first annual (and first race) Alpine Shop Off-Road Racing League trail series. Although, the number of participants was lower than expected, the excitement of the concept was present. With very little advertisement, the were still more than 20 runners on an evening where the heat index reached over 105 at 7:00pm.
The course was flat and fast with a two-loop concept at beautiful Castlewood State Park. The runners pretty much stayed on the Lone Wolf trail which has a rather large creek traversing thru the middle of the course, which being a two-loop course, they had to cross twice. Needless to say, the race was an overall success, and with more advertising from the Alpine Shop, Big River Running, and SLIR next week should present itself with quite a few more runners.
