Bridle Trails Sweep

January 12th, 2008 , 10:30 pm by Michelle Halsne

I won’t call it a run, but I will say “what a great night”  I was a volunteer for the Bridle trails races (5 mile, 10, mile & 50K).  It was an awesome experience.  Part of my duties was to run the 5 mile loop after the last racer was off the trail and clean up. Qusetion:  How many glow sticks does it take to mark 5 miles of trail? Answer 84.  With a Seattle Running Company employee, named Alan, I help remove all the orange ribbon, glow sticks, and chalk marks off the course.  We also picked up empty GU packets, water bottles, and yes even a pair of shoes left on the trail!

The most important part of this exercise was running with my lighting system.  My gear…not so Beuno.  Borrowed gear from expert runner…AWESOME!  I will be heading to REI for a halogen headlamp or four.
