BLACK VULTURE Trail Race

This race is on 100% trail. Choose 4.4, 14, 21, or 31 miles. Pay less than $8. **FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME to reserve a spot, and just bring cash as your race entry fee.**

SAT. FEB. 26, 2011 7:30am - 4:00pm (8.5 hour cutoff)
New River Linear Trail in Pritchard, SC off Okatie Highway.

Flat and fast course. Double out and back is 7 miles, so it'll be repeated 0.5 times, 2, 3, or 4.5 times for the Ultra.

I'll have some water, something salty, something healthy, something sweet, vaseline, and tums. Maybe music. And a stopwatch with a finisher poster / sharpie.  I may or may not have volunteers staying until your finish. But I will be there until 4:00pm. Drop bags/vehicles will be revisited every 7 miles by necessity (recording splits is optional), or if you need to get something, you can add 0.2 miles to your race and get on the connector trail and visit them every 3.5 miles.

I put up a few ribbons last week...they may still be there!?!?! :) :P

NEW RIVER TRAIL

New River Trail

According to Mapquest it's approximately: 3879 Okatie Hwy, Bluffton, SC

If you search Pritchard, SC, this is right where you need to go. Directly across from a home with a green roof and green mailbox.

From the SOUTH (Savannah or Hardeeville): Take 170East until you see the first entrance to Heritage Pky. Right after this, the trail is on your RIGHT. If you pass the second entrance to Heritage Pky, you've gone too far. From the NORTH (Beaufort): Take 170West to the only roundabout. Take the first right to stay on 170 / 46. Travel 1.6 miles. Pass only the first entrance to Heritage Pky. The trail will be on your left.
