New race in Utah

Hey all,
Just a short announcement of a new race in Utah next March 18th. The Antelope Island Buffalo Run 25k/50k.
Here's your chance to run where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play (oh, give me a home etc.).
Antelope Island State Park is on the largest island (28,000 acres) in the Great Salt Lake. There are about 45 miles of trails there with 500 head of buffalo to dodge. Sometime they move, sometimes they don't. Anyone in the Salt Lake area who's run these trails enjoy's them. We have a website, but it's not up and running yet. http://www.buffalorun.org
I'm a trail patrol volunteer out there and a couple of us have thought it would be a great place to have a run. Your entry will include entrance to the island and all the usual race festivities. We will be renting a group campsite that will be available Friday night. We're going to try and have a ranger there for kid's activities as well.
That time of year will be cool, but not necessarily cold and no bugs. I ran all winter out there last year and the vast majority of the time the trails were clear of snow and in great shape.
So mark your calendars for March 18th, 2006.
