TRU+Preview+Run

= Table Rock Ultras Preview Runs!!! = Come join Golden Calves as he leads you on a couple of previews of the new Table Rock Ultra course. These runs will serve two purposes. First, to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Steels Creek, Upper Creek, and the Linville Gorge as you pass by crashing waterfalls, stunning vistas, and calf burning ascents! Secondly, this gives me a chance to check on the condition of the trails before the event to see what work needs to be done before the actual race on September 26th.

__//**1st Preview (for both 50k and 50 mile course) 9/05/15 @ 9am:**//__ The route will consist of the lollipop loop section of the 50k starting from God's Country Rd. The run will be about half gravel and half trail, but will be broken up randomly throughout the run. Optional detour out to the Chimney's to absorb more of the grandeur of the Linville Gorge, if you a feeling frisky! Total mileage is approximately 19 miles. Lots of gain!

//__**2nd Preview (for 50 mile course) 9/07/15 @ 9am:**__//The route will consist of a loop that will take you along the the two new trails and roads of the 50 mile course only! We will start near at the bottom of Craig Creek Rd near the Holly Springs TH, run up FS 197 to Greentown Shortcut Trail, follow that to the MST, take the MST to FS 198, follow that to FS 4099, and follow that to Holly Springs Trail (Sinkhole), and follow Sinkhole Trail back down to the cars. Mileage is approximately 15 miles.

__// Both runs are free, no frills, high thrills gathering of like minded individuals and are in no way a race or an official event. Think of it more like a group hike, but you'll be running instead (maybe). Also, we will cap each gathering at 20 folks. //__ Sign up in the discussion section or email me at throwerbt@gmail.com

Also, I want to thank WNC Trail Runners (Pisgah Nation). Without the support and guidance from this group and its members, I probably wouldn't be putting this event on in the first place.
