The Wurm family runs!

Remember, this race will start at Shelter 14.

Map to Shelter 14

This is not your typical "Psycho" course.  (Slightly neurotic, maybe).
This is truly a good "intro" to the Summer season and the perfect intro to Trail Running.
No major hills, no major mud if it rains, and a fast and completely beautiful and runnable course.
This would be the perfect course for a trail running beginner or children, too.  It's a fun family event, but also a very fast and competitive race, right up to the finish.  A great Father's Day Weekend activity!  Free oval sticker to all finishers!

2007 Race:
 
06/23/2007 (Sat)
Vasque Summer Intro 10K Trail Run
Marina Parking Lot, Shawnee Mission Park
Lenexa, KS
 

What a great trail race. We ended up with 102 trail runners (about 40 more racers than expected) who were ready for a little mud and humid weather.  Over half of our entrants were race day which was a little crazy but a nice surprise.  Because of the larger than expected turnout the Trail Nerds were able to give a nice donation to the Earth Riders Mountain Bike Club to continue building and maintaining trails in the Kansas City area. 

Total donation: $1,128.00 !!!

 

A big thanks needs to go to the following:

·         Vasque trail running shoes for their sponsorship of the race. http://www.vasque.com/

·         Red Bull

·         Garry Gribbles Running Sports where packet pickup was held on Friday http://www.garrygribbles.com/

·         All of the Trail Nerds that help with all that needs to get done before, during and after the race.

·         A big thanks needs to go to Shawnee Mission Park for allowing the first event on the trails.

·         Earth Riders Mountain Bike Club for building great trails all over the Kansas City area.  If you are interested in helping on trail maintenance days, look for info at http://www.earthriders.com/

·         Dick Ross was nice enough to come out a take race photos which are free to download at http://00673d3.netsolhost.com/photoalbum_index.htm/6-23smlake/index.htm

·         Caleb and Sarah helped with marking the course on Friday night.

·         Caleb and “Good Ben” Reeves manning the aid station in the middle of the trails which was not easy with a little wagon.

·         Last but not least the registration and finish line volunteers that were all a little overwhelmed with larger that expected turnout.

 

Race results are attached. 

 

Thanks for coming out,

- Kyle Amos

 
All entry proceeds (after expenses) to go to the Earth Riders Trail Association (ERTA), for trail maintenance and trail building activities.  $1128.00 was donated.
