Trail Running Bliss

Our sixth annual Terra Sans Pave trail runs took place Saturday August 24th, with a return to its inaugural racecourse and setting of Linne Woods forest in Morton Grove, Illinois. After last year's flooded conditions it was wonderful to be back on the scenic, varying loop racecourse that meanders down by the river and winds around the nearby prairie. 82 trail runners had signed up. On race day... 22 long distance adventurers took on Terathlon 8-Hour Run, 31 raced our Big Lizard 10-Mile, 18 went for Terra 8-Km, while five opted for our 1-lap tour of Terra 4-Km.
7:30 am weather statistics: temperature of 66.0°F, with a dew point of 55°F, 68% humidity, wind NW at 5 mph gusting to 22 mph. High temperature for the day reached a pleasant 72°F at 3:00 pm. Sunny skies ruled the day.
At 7:32 am CDT Terathlon 8-Hour runners began repeating laps of our 2½-mile racecourse. Their mission... cover as much distance as possible in the span of eight hours. They could continue running along the 2½-mile "Big Loop," then as the eight hours ticked down, switch to our quarter-mile "Little Loop," and continue right up to the 8-hour air-horn signal.
Meanwhile traditional-distance runners arrived for check-in and their race start. At 9:02 am, our air-horn blast signaled the start of events, Big Lizard 10-Mile, Terra 8-Km, and Terra 4-Km. Soon the entire racecourse was populated with Terra Sans Pave runners... a long serpentine line of distance-running trail lizards
!
11:30 am... as Terathletes pursued evermore mileage, and traditional distance events were finishing, Michelle returned from Tony's Deli with two trays of sandwiches, which were the perfect compliment to our aid station fare. Year-specific pins were earned by all finishers and medals of gold, silver, and bronze were awarded to top runners. Engraved pint-glasses were won by 3-ruuner "Team Achievers" in traditional distance events, and 2-runner "Team Achievers" in Terathlon 8-Hour. Newly minted "Ultra Achiever" heavy medals were earned by all 8-Hour Terathletes who completed the minimum of 11 Big Loops (27.5 miles), and engraved pint-glasses by those who were still running to the eight-hour mark.
