Registration is now open for the fall trail series. These off road events start October 11 and run every other Saturday. All of the events meet at the East Mink Creek Nordic Center. Trails range in elevation and distance but most are about 5 miles long. Participants can enter one of 3 divisions: elite, sport and fun. Participants can choose to walk, run, rest or stop at any time. The fun division has no time limit. Participants are transported to a trailhead and follow well marked forest service trails back to the Nordic center. At least one water station is provided along the way.
You can sign up for any combination of the races and you get a discount for registering for all three. More information is available on http://www.pocatellorunners.com/
It is better than mowing the lawn and makes the transition to ski season a little less painful. Contact Lance in outdoor recreation for more information. lclark@pocatello.us
After the second (October 25) and third (November 8) runs the Pocatello Cross Country Ski Foundation will host a work day to improve the ski trail system. Lunch is provided. Bring work clothes and gloves as well as any useful tools. Check the pocatello ski club page for updates to the work days: www.pokyxc.org
