A group of runners preparing for summer ultras (Highlands Sky 40 mile and Burning River 100 mile primarily) will be doing a long trail run Sunday at Green Ridge State Forest. We'll be meeting at the mountain bike trail head: exit 62, left on Old Williams Road, then onto Black Sulphur and Wallizer (blacktop all the way). There is a large field on the left with rail fence where we park and get on the trail. It's a 12 mile loop, some runners are planning on doing three loops, others one or two. The loop should allow the vehicles to be used as an 'aid station' and allow runners to go ahead and loop back according to their own abilities while still maintaining contact with others. The trail was recently cleared of fallen trees and should be in good shape, although it might be quite muddy. The run will start at 8:00 am.
