A Busy Fall Race Schedule Begins
Traditionally the fall is a popular time for racing in general and trail racing in particular. The ENETRS offers many choices beginning this month. The very challenging and long running Wapack 17.5M Trail Race kicks off the fall schedule September 6th. Paul Funch should be commended for keeping this unique New England event going. For those who have run it in the past need no introduction to its character. For the rest of us we will find out for ourselves.
On September 13th the North Medford Club will be hosting its biannual 7M Overlook Trail Race and 5K Walk/Run. (For the purpose of full disclosure the writer of this blog is a NMC member and race director for this trail race.) This race is in its seventh running. Conditions have ranged from ideal to torrential rain and mud. As a seasoned trail runner you may judge the latter as the ideal conditions. The course offers many changes in terrain meant to appeal to all. Never a dull moment.
This year the ENETRS welcomes the first running of the Kismet Cliff 5M Trail Run. According to race director Gabe Flanders he describes the course as relatively compact and very technical. The course circumnavigates Cathedral and Whitehorse Ledges and is held inside Echo Lake State Park in North Conway, NH. The date of the race is September 20th.
October will be a month of several ENETRS events. Check out the schedule and plan your end of the season.
Happy Trails.
