Birkie Trail Runs - 9/22/12

Photo credit: Jenny ShulhaEight Tri-Rochester members headed to Wisconsin for the Birkie Trail runs on September 22. This is the same Birkie as the ski race, except no snow – well, at least it is supposed to be no snow.  Ironically, the same year that the ski race was in danger of having no snow, early risers in the run race woke to snow coming down pretty hard!  Luckily it didn’t add up to anything significant.

(from the event website) “The 10th Birkie Trail Run & Trek offers several fun and challenging events including the Individual Marathon Run, Half Marathon, Marathon Relay, Birkie Trek Nordic Walk and the 5K Fun Run! The events are guaranteed to challenge even the strongest runners and Nordic Walkers.

All events take place on the famous and hilly Birkie trail at one of the most beautiful times of the year in the Cable-Hayward, WI area. The course is wide, mowed, and relatively free from rocks and roots.”  http://www.birkie.com/page/show/110428-birkie-trail-run-and-trek
