Hi Trail Runners!

Well, well . . . Mother nature has thrown us some COLD WICKED WINTRY Blast to us lately. Unfortunately, due to the extreme temperatures and snowy conditions at Owen-Putnam State Forest - we will need to cancel our Training Run #01 to run the OPSF 50|50 trails this Saturday, 1/31/2026. The horse campgrounds is still under an excessive amount of snow of which only 4-wheel drive vehicles can navigate. Soooo....
Plan B
Eagle Creek Park - West Side by the Bear Sculpture Trail Head (39.85312° N, 86.31012° W ) We will be meeting at 10am Saturday, 1/31/2026 for those in the Indianapolis area

Come join us this Saturday at the Bear! I will have some hot cocoa to share! 🙂
