5 Peaks Albion Hills

This Saturday is the first MEC 5 Peaks trail race of the season. It is at Albion Hills CA near Bolton I think. Directions are on the web site but it is basically on hwy 27 south of Hwy 9. If you don't know the way and want to come, hitch a ride with someone. Easy breezy!

For anyone who hasn't done a 5 Peaks race before, you have your choice of 2 distances to race: the sport class is about 5-6 km and the Enduro Class is around 12-14 km. Both races are enough to test even the most seasoned trail runner. With the rain that is forecast for the next couple of days, I can guarantee that this course will be muddy enough to completely break in those new trail shoes you just bought (ahem). Last year the course was muddy and it was at the end of the summer.

It isn't too late to register. If you reg online before Friday you can use the code SALTYDOG07 to save $5 off entry. Thanks JK!
