Hi Friends,
I will be running Loop 3 of the Cuyamaca 100k course this Sunday, 8/9, starting at 6:30am.
We will meet at the Sweetwater parking area off of the 79, and run to the starting line in Camp Cuyamaca, before starting the loop.
It is about 1.5 miles to the start, the loop is 18ish, and then it is 1.5 back, for a total of just over 21 miles. I hope to keep the pace moderate, and finish in 3.5-4hrs.
There is no water along the loop, though there is water at the start/finish in Camp Cuyamaca. I recommend bringing a hydration pack, or a pack and 1-2 bottles if it is going to be hot.
I would normally add the 2nd loop after this, but I don't have the time this weekend. If you do have the time and desire, I recommend adding on loop 2 to make it a 50k.
Please remember that you are responsible for knowing your way in the event that you are separated from the group. Find the course description and directions here.
Hope to see you there!
Scott Crellin
Is the date on this correct? Should it read 8/9 instead of 11/9?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm totally new to trail running and to SURF. I've run several marathons but have been off running for a while and want to ease my way in. Is there an option for only doing a few miles? Better to wait for a different event? Thanks. Kaiden kaiden_maxwell@yahoo.com
Yes! So sorry, it is this weekend, 8/9. Don't know what I was thinking.
Deleteokay. thanks Scott. Would you also mind answering my question about being new and only doing a few miles? Kaiden
DeleteYes, sorry. This is a big loop, and while there is a way to shorten it, you would have to be familiar with the trails. One way to do it would be to just go out half as far as you are shooting for, and then come back the same way.
