Happy Spring Everybody!

I hope your race season is getting off to a great start and you all were able to hit the trails this weekend.

New life is emerging and the warmth was a sparkle to the soul. Spring is such a gentle little reminder beauty is everywhere.

Speaking of reminders, registration is open for the Tiadaghton Trail Challenge. Both the 10k & half are in the Rocksylvania Trail Series. Although it’s early in the season we are already working on race preparations and are looking forward to seeing all of you.

Stay disciplined and keep smiling!

Congratulations to our overall finishers!! Eileen Gibbons & Justin Fulmer had some impressive times for the 10k and Marisa Deichert & Alex Zubko tore it up on the half. I have to double check but I think we may have had some record breakers.

Our family would like to send out a huge heartfelt thank you to all of you for coming out to the Tiadaghton Trial Challenge and supporting the Kasey Kemmerer Memorial Scholarship Fund. We hope you had a fantastic time out on the trails and went home with a happy soul.

Also thank you to all of our incredible volunteers who helped leading up to and on race day. We certainly couldn’t make this event happen without you.

A special thank you to Jim Hyland for the beautifully crafted Overall Finisher gifts. If you ran the half you also would have seen him volunteering at aid station 3 with his wife Sherry and mascot Finney.

And lastly, thank you to all of our amazingly generous sponsors.
