Capitol Peak 50 mile and 25K update

It's hard to believe that race day for the inaugural Capitol Peak 50 mile
and 25Km is just 6 weeks away. Just to remind everyone, that the deadline
for early registration is May 28. Please feel free to use the online
registration hosted by Signmeup at the main website:
http://www.capitolpeakultras.com/CP50mile.htm.


We're getting quite a variety of entrants within and outside of the NW who
are looking forward to the inaugural 50 mile and 25 Km trail runs. designed
to whip everyone into summer racing shape! There is a variety of terrain
and trails to get ready for in both races, so, if you're interested in
getting out to train on portions of the race course, please join us on May
21st for a 10 or 20 mile run (with the option of going more or less). We
will meet at 7:30 am on May 21 at the Top Foods/Starbucks near the junction
of Black Lake Blvd and Cooper Pt Rd in west Olympia. The training runs
will start from Wedekind Camp (see driving directions at:
www.capitolpeakultras.com/driving_directions.htm). .


We are also planning to do trail work following the runs on May 21. So if
you are in need of a trail work service project for a 100 miler or just want
to come out to give back to that trails, please join us at 12:00 noon on May
21 at Wedekind camp in Capitol Forest. If you need a ride to the trail work,
please contact me and I will try and arrange a ride for you. If you are
planning to come up for both the run and trail work, please bring plenty of
food and beverages.


If you can't make this training run or want more training the following
weekend, a group of us will be running in the Olympics over Memorial Weekend
near the Quinault. There are 4 different runs that will take place on May
27-May 30. See the following website for more details:

Also, anyone interested in volunteering for the either the 50 mile or 25Km
race, please contact me!

Looking forward in seeing you at the training runs and race!

See you on the trails!
