Hickory Mountain 10k Trail Race – September 18, 2010 – DuPont State Forest, NC

Hickory Mountain 10k Trail Race

DuPont State Forest is one of the best places for trail running in Western North Carolina and I’m delighted to see this race there. This race starts at 9:00 AM. Here are notes from the race organizers …

Starting and finishing at Guion Farm in beautiful DuPont State Forest, the Hickory Mountain Trail race will use single track trails, double track, and forest service roads. You will start on Buck Forest, turn right on Jim Branch, ease on down this beautiful trail and take a right on Lake Imaging, take a right on Ridgeline. This is where it gets interesting! You will climb up Ridgeline and take a left onto Hickory Mountain Loop (clockwise), follow the loop around to Hickory Mountain Road, take HM Rd, go left on Boundary and then right on Guion. Go left on HM Rd, and then finish left on Buck Forest. Start and Finish will be the same area! STAY TUNED for the course map once the start and finish is determined.

As of July 12…we are at 40% full.

Foot Rx Cross Country Grand Prix Series, First Race – 1.5 Miles – August 6th, 2009, Jackson Park, Hendersonville, North Carolina

The first race in the Foot Rx Cross Country Grand Prix Series is coming up fast.  It’s Thursday, August 6th at Jackson Park in Hendersonville, North Carolina.  It’s a 1.5 mile race that starts at 6 PM.  The cost for the race is $10, but you should read more about the series because there’s great value in participating in multiple races in the series.

The Foot Rx Cross Country Grand Prix Series include 8 races that occur on weekday evenings at 6 PM.  It’s a nice mid-week opportunity to get out and do a little racing on cross country courses.  For a thorough review of the series and enrollment form, click the link below …

Group Trail Run at North Carolina Arboretum and Bent Creek

I’ve run on my own many times over the past three years at the Arboretum and decided to try participating in a group run.  I’ve know about group runs that meet Sunday mornings, so I showed up at the Greenhouse and joined with a group that runs regularly together, typically 8-10 miles or about 90 minutes.  I really enjoyed it and saw some trails that I’ve never seen before.  There’s such a diverse assortment of trails in the Bent Creek area that it would take months of regular running to sample them all.  I liked the fact that this group ran mostly on single to double wide hiking trails that were predominantly dirt, rather than many of the wide gravel roads that crisscross the area.  The pace was good and probably challenged me to work a little harder than I would on my own.  I think I’ll do this again.

Running Five & Change at the North Carolina Arboretum

This is a run I’ve done ten or more times over the past few years at the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville.  I did it yesterday for the first time in a year or more. It’s about five and a half miles — I can’t know for sure because my Garmin always seems to lose satellite contact at some point in this run.  It’s mostly gravel road and double wide mountain trails.  It’s helpful to get an Arboretum Trail map for this.  They don’t actually have a map to download but they do have trail descriptions.  They have a nice trail map you can pick up at the Arboretum.  Here’s the trail descriptions page …

• Start at the big parking lot between the Education Center and the Baker Exhibit Center.
• Run out the lot and down Greenhouse Way, toward the Greenhouse about .3 miles.
• Just before the road bends to the left and heads up to the Greenhouse, bear right onto Wolf Branch Road (more like a double wide dirt/gravel trail).
• At Bent Creek Trail go left.  Follow this to Rocky Cove Road.
• Make a hard (hairpin) right on Rocky Cove Road.  Follow this about .4 miles.
• Make a left on Owl Ridge Trail.  This is a double wide, moderate uphill trail.  Follow about a mile until you intersect with Hard Times Road.
• Left on Hard Times Road and follow about .8 miles, gradual downhill on double wide trail.
• Just before hitting the Gatehouse parking lot, turn left on Old Mill Trail – double wide mulched trail.
• Follow Old Mill Trail to Bent Creek Road (just after crossing a bridge).
• Left on Bent Creek Road.  Follow about a mile or so back to Wolf Branch Road.
• Right on Wolf Branch.
• Left on Greenhouse Way.  This takes you back to the parking lot.
• You’re done!

Running the NC Arboretum

Had a great run the other day on the trails at the Arboretum. Just over 3 miles, good hills, flat finish. Today I’ll combine it with the expansive trails in the Bent Creek Experimental Forest for a longer run. I need more distance and this long trail runs are a peaceful way to do it without all the road traffic.
