We will take off from the pool (click here for directions) and do the 15.5 mile loop. Anyone is welcome to come out, even if not planning on running the Sasquatch…there are a few spots where you could cut out early to (6-8 miles).

For those in the area or otherwise interested, the WV High School state XC meet is this coming weekend at Cabell Midland High School, in between Huntington and Charleston. If you live in the state, chances are good you have a local kid in the meet. It’s easy to find something else to do this weekend, but consider coming out for the excitement and racing action and to support these up-and-coming runners.
Meet information here.
