Florida-Madera-Florida Wrightson Double - 10/30/22 - 26.8 miles

Seven brave lads decided to risk stepping in some fresh bear scat in order to participate in the Florida-Wrightson run on Sunday. The weather was perfect and the bears cooperated, so it was a successful run. Note: all numbers are reasonably accurate +/- a few decimals. I ate WAY too many M&Ms and spent most of the day on a sugar high. I barely remember being there.

Thanks to Zach Nelson for covering Madera and providing shuttle service back to Florida Canyon. Thanks to the cellular gods for keeping the connection open so Florida and Madera could communicate all day. Thanks to all of the runners for not getting lost or eaten by a wild animal - keeps it simple that way. Peace, Love, Happiness

Tanque Verde Loop - 11/13/22 - 28.5 miles

Thanks to everyone who came out to run the Tanque Verde Loop and other. We had a modest turnout of happy runners and some really nice weather. There were five people that ran the full 28.5 mile route. Hat's off to Vasileios who ran a really fast 4:58, and to everyone else who finished a challenging run. I enjoyed hanging out with everyone and It was good to see you all.

Loma Alta - 11/27/22 - miles

20 courageous souls braved the cold this morning and joined the wonderful Loma Alta run. They all lived to fight another day as no one went all the way to Manning Camp for the full 28.8 miles. I was told the trails were smooth like butter, so everyone made it back safe (luckily for them cause I wouldn't want to get stranded on a mountain on my watch), and enjoyed the post run fun. Some disappointment was expressed because I didn't make my famous baklava to share with the runners. Oh well, even I am not perfect. Many thanks to all who came out this morning!

Honeybee Christmas Eve Marathon(ish) - 12/24/22 - 28 miles

Thank you to everyone that came out to enjoy a gorgeous day of running in the "Honeybee" area, along the base of the Tortolita Mountains. There were 35 people that joined us for an, unusual for TTR, flatter route that can sometimes be "harder" since there's seldom a legitimate reason to walk. What is usual about this particular run are the navigation errors and slight wrong turns made by some folks, since none of the trails are marked out there. The most common error was made coming back to the powerline road the last time, missing the right turn onto the powerline road, since the trail does go straight across as well. Thankfully everyone returned without any major deviations and a great morning was reported by all. Additional thanks goes to everyone who brought a yummy holiday treat to share. Let us know if there any updates needed to the below results.

Cowhead Saddle had 24 brave runners starting in 27 degree temps with 12 runners completing the full course with some patchy ice and a few tenacious spiky plant arms tearing at their shins- not fast conditions this morning. 7 runners chose the always fun Douglas Spring CG Half Marathon option and 5 runners simply enjoyed the sunny morning, cool air, and flowing waterfalls. No injuries to report and fizzy water, coffee, and meat + cheese bites were the winners from the food choices. We had Park Service Law Enforcement and Trailhead Volunteers and all had good things to say about TTR!

Keystone Traverse - 2/26/23 - 15.2 miles

The 9th annual Keystone Traverse in the Sierrita mountains featured wind and snow this year. 7 brave souls set out in wintery weather to tackle the snow laden course. With the highly experienced group there was no need for the St. Bernard with whiskey rescue. After making it back to finish line the barely alive runners were revived by Fernando Bustamante and his amazing cook to order quesadillas along with salsa. Billy was helping out with video and photos along with good conversation during set up and take down of the aid station finish. As we were all driving off the sun started to shine as the storm moved on leaving the mountains with a white coat. Duer came down but due to a waterproofing jacket failure and injury recovery wisely decided to pass on the run. Everyone else continued on with potentially unwise and highly questionable decisions that Ultrarunners are known for. As usual I heard no complaints from the residents in the graveyard even though we were kind of loud cheering in amazement every time a runner came back alive.

We had 25 folks come out to enjoy the spring weather and warming temperatures this weekend on the lower mountain. Seven people braved the full route and many opted for the lovely Bug Springs out-and-back (9-11 miles). A hearty welcome to our ~3 newcomers!

Catalina Peaks - 5/14/23

This past Sunday, 13 intrepid souls gathered on the mountain for a trek up to Ski Valley. It was cold and windy at the start with sunny miles for the rest of it. Everyone finished the run just before the rain clouds moved in (what!?!) and dumped much needed rain on the mountain and the city. Thank you all for coming out to this event; it was a perfect day on the mountain!

BIG thanks to Gary Parcher, Cliff Anderson, and John Mollenhour for helping out with the two aid stations at San Pedro and Sunset Trailhead, as well as driving runners back to their cars at GH. You all made the day so much better, not only with your help but your company as well. I really appreciate it all. Thank you again!
