Cinco+De+Mayo+Sombrero+Extravaganza

This will be a self supported 22ish mile run starting from [|Turkey Pen Trail Head]If you are the kind of person that absolutely MUST run 26.2 miles to say you did a marathon, you are more than welcome. I will be sitting with my feet in the river drinking your beer! This is a fun run. No serious people allowed. The run will commence at 900am sharp so we may hopefully finish before it gets too hot. Really, before the ice in my cooler melts leaving me with warm beer. In honor of Cinco De Mayo **I highly encourage everyone to wear your sombrero of choice**. An award will be given for the best sombrero and/or Cinco de Mayo outfit.
