November 5 - CRTR Group Trail Run - Lock 29 - CVNP

jimc — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:49:16 GMT

MEET AT LOCK 29 - Run starts at 6:30pm - HEADLAMP WILL BE NEEDED -

We will start out at Lock 29 heading south on the Towpath and then take the connector road over to the Oak Hill area. Up the paved road, turning left still towards the bottom of the hill. We will climb up to the Oak Hill Trailhead main parking lot and then circle back running down the old paved road and then back on the towpath. I will have trail maps and we will stick together as it can be confusing if you don't know the trail.

In the area of Oak Hill is one of the oldest farmhouses originally owned by John Gilson and is now the environmental education center. In 1877, John Gilson was swept away into icy waters while trying to cross Furnace Run. In his memory and as a safer means to cross the river, the Everett Road Covered Bridge was built.

Oil Creek FA 50K Run, 2/27/2010

balee1 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:36:19 GMT

One year is simply too long to wait to run in Oil Creek State Park again! To get our fill of the OC State Park and to bring back the memories of the inaugural Oil Creek 100, join me on an unofficial FA 50K run of the course.

I would like to start/finish near Titusville Middle School and the grocery store on the corner. Exact meeting place TBA later.

Refuel and celebrate the course afterwards at the Blue Canoe Brewery adjacent to the grocery store in town.

Starting time: sunrise is at 6:57am, so we will plan to start at 7am.

Course: follow the official Oil Creek 50K/100K/100M course.

I have started a discussion on NEO Trail's discussion board and I'll also spread the word via the OC100 Yahoo Group and an event I created with Facebook where you can RSVP and share with others. http://www.neotrail.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9
