Wow, what a great time at the Aint City Trail event! Thank you to everyone who came out and joined in. Even though it was smoke-y out, a few folks were still able to discover some trails in their backyard. We can't wait to do more of these in the future.  Mark your calendars!  We're going to attempt to hold our annual banquet this year, though it will probably look a little different (no potluck for example). Save the date of November 20th for our annual pre-banquet run and event.  We're also doing our final group run of the year at the Final Fall Fatass Frolic on November 13t ..read more
