Not to take Tom's thunder away from him, but I just got off the phone with Tom (at 18:10) and they are down to the last half mile of shoveling snow off the course and he said the race is a go for Saturday, Feb 12th.
He's out on the course and can not update the forum yet and I know a lot of you are waiting to make plans.
So see your there.

Had a great time out there today, thanks to Tom, Danny, and everyone else who made it possible!

Agree 100%. Thanks so much. I really can't imagine all the hard work that went in to clearing that trail. The RVR crew has had to do this 2 years in a row now. I vote for good weather next year!Jesse Garrett wrote:Had a great time out there today, thanks to Tom, Danny, and everyone else who made it possible!

Tom, great job to you and all your help on clearing the trail of the snow and ice on Saturday. My main concern were the bridges and they were almost completely clear. Hopefully you won't have the ice and snow next year.

I wonder if 6+ miles of heating strips could be purchased cheaply, easily....lol

Great job on clearing the course for the race! I credit it for my 1.5 minute PR!

Great job Sidewinder for putting on a great race, Trashtalker Dad for all he did clearing the course, and everyone else who contributed to the event.
Kerry and I liked the separate starts. It allowed us to both race and still bring the kid. We also thought the age group trophies were great.

Oh yeah...getting a shirt from a race that I can run in is always a plus! I can deal with the pink.
