RUN FOR THEIR LIVES

The event "RUN FOR THEIR LIVES" was started in Lynchburg, VA and is growing exponentially every year. This is the 3rd year this race will be run, and it is for an astounding cause. The event takes place late in each October and benefits those sold into sexual slavery due to severe poverty. Most (80%) of these victims are women and children.
Please consider PARTICIPATING FROM A DISTANCE. Eventually, this will be a nationwide event, but for now, since our area isn't an official race location, please consider RUNNING a 5k or 10k on the course of YOUR CHOICE and signing up before Saturday at RUN FOR THEIR LIVES (r4tl.com). Write your location in the COMMENTS section to raise awareness and to represent your city and state!
Consider spending your next $24 on a cause bigger than your next meal out, stop at the gas station, new shirt, or movie. Or go in half and half with a friend. You can't go wrong!
Next year, sign up by Oct. 1st for a guaranteed T-shirt. For now, enjoy knowing you are helping those who desparately need it!!!

WHERE CAN MY FEET GO OFF-ROADING AROUND HERE?

Check it out, trailrunners. How difficult is it to find coastal trails online? VERY! Usually the featured trails on websites are the worst ones...ever. The least-known trails often are the best! So, where can you run and not be stared at, beeped at, or run over? I'll try to inform you of as many trails as possible from my research, experience, and trespassing...I mean...exploration!!!
DIRT ONLY (no specific order):
1. Hunting Island State Park (Beaufort, SC Area) It costs a few bucks, but you can get a season pass. There are about 10 miles of trails (plus roads and 4 miles of shoreline). Once again, the best ones are the least publicized. Take Diamondback or Magnolia Forest trails-they have hills (bumps, dunes, whatever they are) and hopefully, I have already cleared out the spiderwebs for you!!!!! The Maritime Trail is the most traveled; it's straight, boring, and flat. Boooooo!  Shade is nice; sandgnats and fireants can be bad, so stay moving. LENGTH RATING: 6 out of 10. TECHNICAL RATING: 3 / 10. RATING COMPARED TO COASTAL TRAILS: 9 / 10.
2. West Ashley GREENWAY (Charleston, SC) - Free. 8 miles one way. Flat, suburban but ends up in a beautiful open marsh. Shaded about 3/4 of the way. LENGTH RATING: 8 out of 10. TECHNICAL RATING: 1 / 10. RATING COMPARED TO COASTAL TRAILS: 7 / 10.
3. New River Linear Trail (Bluffton, SC) - 3.5 miles one way. Free. Soon to be made longer! Gorgeous views of open marshes and birds galore. Can get sunny and hot. LENGTH RATING: 4 out of 10. TECHNICAL RATING: 1 / 10. RATING COMPARED TO COASTAL TRAILS: 6 / 10.
More to come...when I moved here I thought there were ZERO, but I have proved myself wrong. So get out there and get DIRTY!
4. Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge (Hilton Head Island, SC) - Free. 7 miles of flat sandy or grassy trails. LENGTH RATING: 4 out of 10. TECHNICAL RATING: 1 / 10. RATING COMPARED TO COASTAL TRAILS: 7 / 10.
5. McQueens Island Trail (Savannah, GA) - Free. Off US-80E. 3 miles one way; 3 miles the other way. Open, Sandy, Flat & Sunny. LENGTH RATING: 7 out of 10. TECHNICAL RATING: 1 / 10. RATING COMPARED TO COASTAL TRAILS: 6 / 10.
6. Tom Triplett Community Park Trails (Pooler, GA) - Free. 6.5 mile loop - marked and kept up for mtn biking. Nice mini hills and twists, turns, and roots keep it fun. There are another 3 miles of trails, plus access to the old Sav/Ogeechee Canal, and even a 1.5 mile paved loop around the long pond. You'll feel like you've made your getaway on these quiet, woodsy, unpopulated trails. Take unmarked turns; get lost; get found; explore! LENGTH RATING: 6 out of 10. TECHNICAL RATING: 3 / 10. RATING COMPARED TO COASTAL TRAILS: 9 / 10.

HAPPY CAMPER free ultra (30miles-Friday, 9/9/11)

I have a pretty phenomenal course mapped out for some FREERUNNING. And by that title, I refer to running for several hours at a cost of $0. The course consists of 3 out-and-backs in Bluffton, SC. The three sections are beautiful in 3 different ways: coastal open trail beauty, winding tree path grandeur, and the comfort of knowing civilization (in reverse order). The entry fee of $0 covers a map that I will email you, so you "kind of" know exactly where you are going. The HAPPY CAMPER course is flat and consists of roughly 13 miles of dirt trails, 4 miles of running in the grass beside a 2-way road, and 13 miles of paved trails. A map and turn-by-turn instructions with landmarks and road names will be emailed to you to print out. The course will not be marked, but if you run/walk at my leisurely and injury-preventing pace, you're sure not to get lost.

There will be 2 aid stations visited twice each. The catch is that you must pay for food and liquids at these aid stations. The first is named WENDY'S and the second, PUBLIX. You may also visit your car two times, conveniently in the last 7 miles. 

There are no cutoff times, but also may be no other happy campers waiting for you. Crews are welcome. Also, only 20 runners will be allowed to start this race. So, email me and commit fast! If you can't show on race day, tell me by Thursday at 6pm. Happy camping is also available at very near campground. 

For START info, details, a map, a waiver, and secrets...email WHATULTRA@yahoo.com.

Crem8r

Congrats to anyone who ATTEMPTED or volunteered for CREMATOR Ultra!!!! It was a zillion degrees and sunny. Many miracles occured...mostly involving random people handing out or dumping water on us.

A lady leaned out the window and asked me if an ultra was occuring. I said yes. She was impressed. I was impressed that she knew what an ultra was.

Great job, everyone! Come run MAD MARSH on November 19th (on Active)! I was the only girl at CREM8R. Hopefully I won't be the only girl at MAD MARSH...

THE TRIP

The trip to SLOVAKIA funded in part by: Black Vulture, The S.H.U., Bad Marsh, and Ultra Pre Deti was fantastic!

I made 60 new friends and shared some smiles and conversations in English with my 30 students.

Phenomenal.

Thanks, everyone!!!

UPD

What do rain clouds, runners, tents, BBQ grills, and the authorities all have in common? UPD! Ultramarathon Police Department- I mean Ultra Pre Deti...

Perhaps I named the race wrong considering the outcome!? At any rate, I was SO glad to have everyone participate despite the humidity, bugs, crazy schedules, online registration difficulties, and other issues.

It was another mentally tough race, since the dark makes people like me think it's time to call it quits and go to bed. I got word that it was tougher than Sweetwater 50k!

Thanks again to all the runners, and let's PACK OUT Mad Marsh 50k at 75 runners!!! We'll us Rock n Roll Marathon in Savannah as a cute little training run, right?

Results to follow...

BM update...

17 nights until BAD MARSH! The shirts will be ordered this week, so even if you haven't signed up yet, shoot me a heads up email so I can include your size and style shirt. Keeping things positive, the race is half FULL! I'm so excited to run this race with all of you. The moon should be out and almost full, shedding some light and saving our batteries, hopefully. If all goes well, there will be ANOTHER NIGHT ULTRA in AUGUST...

BAD MARSH: Official Parking Area

177 Brickyard Point Rd SBeaufort, SC 29907-1226


is the mapquest address for BAD MARSH. We can park about 40 cars in this area on the generous shoulder of the road.


CLICK HERE for MAPQUEST.


No worries: this keeps you from driving another half mile to Marsh Drive, you'll see us on your way down brickyard point road.


DRIVING DIRECTIONS: FROM Downtown Beaufort, get on route 21, go over the bridge, take a left on Sams Point Road. Drie about 3.5 miles. When the road narrows to one lane, turn left onto Brickyard Point Dr South. Follow for about 1.5 miles until you see a bunch of crazy runners and their vehicles. (It'll be LIGHT outside for the start and first lap-you're welcome!)

BAD MARSH

Shirts have been designed!!! :) There are wicking shirts available in Men's sizes S-XL and lightweight cotton racerback tank tops in Women's sizes S-XL.     The course is looking great! I'll include as many hills as possible from the golf course.      I'm going to reduce the price to $30 until race week ( $27 for 4.5miler / 9miler).

MAXIMUM # RUNNERS: 60.
With a month to go, we have about 20 runners.

Bad Marsh is a race you must do!!! Choose your distance, bring a headlamp and a water bottle, and a dose of trail running spirit. We are going to be parking at 139 Marsh Road, Beaufort. (Different from November's start location...thank goodness!) It's 4.5 miles per lap, and you can choose 1 to 7 laps. (4.5 miles, 9, half mar, 18, 22.5, mar, 31.5-mile ultra) 

The start is at 7:00 pm on Friday, May 13th, with the cutoff at 3am. The one aid station with have food, water, gatorade, etc. and will stay lit up. It's gonna be laid back, but extremely fun and adventurous. Bring friends; bring a crew. The course will be marked with orange ribbons and flags. It'll be light for the first lap or two, then the real fun begins!!!

It's $25 if you signup early enough. A no-shirt option is available. The race is sponsored by the brand new Palmetto Running Co. and will have a shirt choice of a cotton tee or racerback tank. Proceeds will benefit me as I travel overseas to teach English for a few weeks this summer. The results from the ultra will go into Ultrarunning Magazine. There will be no more than 100 runners. 

The course is packed dirt on an old golf course, with a few manmade hills thrown in for kicks. No roots or rocks. A couple of road crossings.

BAD MARSH is what's up!!!

Bad Marsh is a race you must do!!! Choose your distance, bring a headlamp and a water bottle, and a dose of trail running spirit. We are going to be parking at 139 Marsh Road, Beaufort. (Different from November's start location...thank goodness!) It's 4.5 miles per lap, and you can choose 1 to 7 laps. (4.5 miles, 9, half mar, 18, 22.5, mar, 31.5-mile ultra) 

The start is at 7:00 pm on Friday, May 13th, with the cutoff at 3am. The one aid station with have food, water, gatorade, etc. and will stay lit up. It's gonna be laid back, but extremely fun and adventurous. Bring friends; bring a crew. The course will be marked with orange ribbons and flags. It'll be light for the first lap or two, then the real fun begins!!!

It's $25 if you signup early enough. A no-shirt option is available. The race is sponsored by the brand new Palmetto Running Co. and will have a shirt choice of a cotton tee or racerback tank. Proceeds will benefit me as I travel overseas to teach English for a few weeks this summer. The results from the ultra will go into Ultrarunning Magazine. There will be no more than 100 runners. 

The course is packed dirt on an old golf course, with a few manmade hills thrown in for kicks. No roots or rocks. A couple of road crossings. 

Are there any fun trail races in the area? The answer is YES!

Registration is now up on Active.com for all events (except Mad Marsh). I'm proud to have PALMETTO RUNNING CO. on board as a supporter of the events. (CLICK ******HERE****** for the PRC website.)
