Cross Country Grand Prix Race #8 Montreat College 8k

That was fun! That's all I can say about that. We had 15 brave soles run with headlamps through the dark of Montreat Colleges' 8k Cross Country Course. There were no casualties, & only a few wrong turns.
Congrats to Dave Workman & Susan Dannenberg who won the men's & women's races respectively.
We will be doing this again next year. I hope every one had a good time.
If you paid your $50 or did 4 or more races, please come out for the awards ceremony & get a shirt. The awards ceremony will take place at Flat Rock Village Bakery in the heart of Flat Rock at 3pm on Saturday Nov. 21st. Pizza will be provided. Significant others & kids are more than welcome!
I will save the overall results until after the awards ceremony.

USAT&F Trail Marathon National Championships

On Nov. 7th, Aaron Saft raced the Lithia Loop Trail Marathon in Ashland, OR, which served as the USAT&F Trail Marathon National Championships. The race climber 3800' in the first 8 miles up to 5000+' of elevation. The race continued for 12 miles above 5000' and was snowing at that elevation. At 20 miles, the race descended 3000' for the last 6 miles. Max King of Bend, OR won the race in 2:40 after placing 19th the previous weekend in the New York City Marathon in a stellar time of 2:19. Sam Robinson of Berkley, CA was 2nd in 2:42 followed in 3rd by Aaron in 2:48. Fourth place was Coach Greg McMillan (first Masters) in 2:54, & fifth was Jim Johnson of NH. A beautiful course & Hal Koerner & Ian Torrence did a great job of putting on a great event!

On a side note, Aaron got to meet Erik Skaggs, who we sent donations to after his kidney failure from racing the Where's Waldo 100k. Erik is doing great! He sends his thanks for the donations. Erik is happy to be back to running. Thank you to all who contributed.
