Sandia Crossing this Sunday! Start time in Tijeras: 8am. For those who can't set up a car shuttle - consider running an out-and-back along the Crest Trail from Placitas at some point you'll run into the crossers. North-end Trail head: Drive 5 miles east of I25 towards Placitas to the Tunnel Spring road then going south and up 1.5 miles till you get to the trail head parking. South-end Trail head: I-40 to the Tijeras exit (as if going to Cedar Crest). Go right towards south 14 road then immediately turn left under the freeway. Drive north a half mile up through the Canyon Estates subdivision to get to the trail head. dkcoblentz@yahoo.com or 505-695-4839 for further coordination. Hope to see you on Sunday!

Get Over It results posted

From Rhonda Claridge, RD:

 The morning began with black, ominous clouds, and I thought the run was doomed, but we barely got sprinkled on, ran at times in the clouds, perfect temperatures, no lightning. The only mishap was that I and another fellow both slipped and fell in Bear Creek, the log bridge to La Junta having washed away. (So we did get wet.) We measured the distance and it was just shy of 20 miles.

Cancellations

Due to the Tres Lagunas fire, the Beyond Baldy run has been cancelled. The forest that we'd run through was closed on Friday. Deb and I attempted a Beyond Baldy on Friday and was turned back by the forest closure.

Due to the closing of the Sandia Mountains, the Watermelon Runs have also been cancelled.

Next Saturday is the Arriba! New Mexico run on Wheeler Peak.

If there are any other cancellations or updates, I will post them here.
