I have added the 2012 schedule to the right and it will also be added to the calender at the bottom of the page. Hopefully this will make it easier to see when and where the runs will be held.
The schedule is still early and unconfirmed by most of the run directors, but I will update the dates as they get confirmed or remove events if necessary. If anyone out there wants to add an event, let me know.
Thanks,
Steve

Mesa to Mesa 50K
This Saturday we're hoping to end the year with a running of the Mesa to Mesa 50K that we couldn't have in November due to a snowstorm. I'm thinking that the snow up on the mesas (San Juan and Cat) shouldn't be too bad and there will certainly be no snow in Ponderosa, the turnaround point.
Running it will be me, Deb and our friend Kevin, if anyone is interested in joining us, email me at ultrastevep@gmail.com so I know how much water to put at the turnaround tomorrow.
To learn any details of this run, look at previous posts in this blog.
Happy New Year! Let's hope we have a great MTNRNR schedule for 1012 and also have many runners show up!

Battleship Rock Trail Marathon... possibly cancelled.
The first annual Battleship Rock Trail Marathon is supposed to be run this coming Saturday morning, but I am thinking of cancelling due to the fact that I have not received one definite RSVP and with the potential for bad weather, do not think driving Rte 4 on icy roads is a good idea.
Here is the official NWS forecast for our neck of the woods at 8200':
Saturday: A 50 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 35. West wind between 15 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
That sounds cold and wet, which means ice. The roads up here get pretty bad and the forecast is for possible snow Friday night, but also cold weather (mid 30's) and rain/snow for Saturday...I don't want to be responsible for anyone going over the edge of the road, dropping into the canyon. So our plan is to "not" purchase any food for the post run get together and if anyone does show up, well just have a fun run, which is typical of a MTNRNR event anyway. Maybe we can find a way to reschedule the event for a better weather slot in the summer next year. We attempted to have this run (Mesa to Mesa 50K) in 2006 and it was cancelled due to a 3 foot snowstorm several days before.
