A plethora of races kind of just snuck up on us. I thought spring/summer was the happening seasons for our athletes’ race calendar’s…no. Year round. YEAR ROUND BADASSES! On Saturday, November 11th, at Stinson Beach & Mt. Tamalpais State Park in California, our dear Maria Dalzot took 1st Place F/ 4th Overall in the Mt. Tam Trail Run 10k, setting a course PR, and this after having taken quite a bit of time off, nursing a nagging injury, and for the blessed break each one of us needs to remind ourselves to take. “Mt. Tamalpais is the dominating feature in Marin County. Any true trail runner who sees it wants to run up it…Mt. Tam Trail Run begins at Stinson Beach and climbs (and climbs!) to perched views from Tam before returning via some of the best trails the Headlands have to offer until reaching the beach and bountiful post race food.” The 10k hosts 1,650′ in elevation gain…in a mere 6.9 miles (ps: who the heck put another 1/2 mile in there?) A 50k, 30k and 1/2 Marathon accompanied the 10k race the same day. We look forward to Maria’s 2018 and to her continued health! Mt. Tam Trail Run RESULTS! On Saturday, November 11th, taking off from Mount Vernon Christian School in Mt. Vernon, WA, teammates Amber Morrison and Hazel Clapp competed at the 39th Annual Fowl Fun Run presented by Skagit Runners. Having come back from the Snohomish River Run Marathon where she took 1st, and racing her way back to fitness, Morrison took 1st F/ 3rd Overall in the Fowl Fun Run 10k! Hazel Clapp was 3rd Female / 7th Overall, bettering her course PR! On top of all of it, Morrison’s mother also competed, taking 1st in her age group in the 5k, and winning a turkey in the raffle! Fowl Fun Run RESULTS! On Saturday, November 11th, Krank Events hosted their Fall Cascade 6hr Adventure Race in Maple Valley, WA, and our resident adventure racer, Scarlett Graham, alongside teammates Brent Molsberry, Annie Hewlett-Molsberry and Mitchell Harter of Team Quest Race Team, took 2nd to Team Krank. Considered a challenging race on foot and mountain bike, in all there were 59 checkpoints in 6 hours. The race started and finished at Lake Wilderness Park in Maple Valley. Results not yet posted.

Coming this weekend, Corrine Malcolm sets off for The North Face Endurance Challenge 50-Mile. She will start at 5:00 am in Sausalito, CA among a stacked field. Results to come! Also coming this weekend, our women’s team will represent at the USATF Regionals XC Championships, hosted by Team Red Lizard/Stumptown Cross at Fernhill Park in Portland, OR! The women’s 6k race starts at 9 am!

I mean, we have to earn our third helping at Thanksgiving somehow…Good luck to all those racing this weekend and congrats to all those who have accomplished so much in the previous weeks!
