Potato Creek Back half of the course.

MORE INFO!!!

Yes, I know I am horribly delinquent in getting new info up on this blog.  I have new video, more info, and shirts that will be posted up here shortly.  I have been working with Dave over at Metro Run and Walk to make sure you guys get good runner swag.   This weekend I'll be putting up video of the back half of the 13 mile loop.  I went out and ran it during a rain/sleet/snow storm that was moving thru the area.   If you have questions give me a call on my cell.  574-596-3860 or email me at pctrailinfo@gmail.com  Thank You!

Online registration is up!

Many Thanks to Todd Henderlong of T & H timing from Valpo Indiana!  Todd's company will be taking care of the timing for the trail runs, as well as online registration.  If any of you are considering setting up a race in the future I would highly recommend Todd and his crew.  He has made the stressful job of being a R.D. much easier!  Online registration should be listed as a link in the right hand column.  Simply clink on the link and fill in the blanks!  Thank You Todd!

We have decided on the finisher's award for the the ultra distance event. As far as I know ( and that's not much people ) there isn't a ultra at any distance that hands out a brass compass as an award. I found these really cool, solid brass scouting compasses and I think they would make a excellent finishers award for the race.  My intent is to engrave the back of the compass with the race name and distance for each of the Ultra runners who finish the course within the time limit.  

And the first race entrant is....

Bill Kulwiki of South Bend Indiana.  He has signed up for the 60k event  Thanks for sending in your race registration early!  My wife and I were so excited to get this in the mail we about had a party and invited Bill.

Video of the front half.

Alrighty!  Yesterday I was able to go out and get some good ( I use that term tounge in cheek ) video of the front half of the race course.  The video is of the mountain bike course which we will be running in reverse.  I shot the video of this to help those not accustomed to trail running, or those not familiar with the mountain bike course to assist them in gaining a  litttle " flavor.
