Last weekend a band of trail runners met at the lower trail-head of Noble Canyon to run part of the NC50k course. We did a fun out-and-back, most of us reaching the top at Penny Pines trail-head along Sunrise highway. Whatever distance or pace runners choose it was a great day!

An even smaller band of runners ran the same route but started an hour before the rest of us. It was great to see them coming down while we were going up. Always good to see friends along the trail!

On the way back down we had scattered showers which was a welcome relief and actually added to the experience.  We’re all revving up for the Noble Canyon 50k which is now just two months away!

See you on the trails.
