Beginner Ohill Trail Run

OVERVIEW

OHill’s 13,242 miles of trail are a resource highly underutilized by UVA students. Many are discouraged by its complex labyrinth of trails that gets reshuffled every day and its plethora of hostile magical creatures. Additionally, treacherous rickety hanging bridges over enormous chasms and puzzles where failure results in death pose challenges for new ohill trail enthusiasts. No longer shall these hazards keep you pounding your poor shins into the pavement. A world of baby soft loam and varied movement awaits your joints and we are here to show it to you.

The plan:
3:45 – meet outside Slaughter Rec Center. We will briefly assess group vibe and have any necessary discussion.
3:52 – begin running. we will probably run for 30-40 minutes roughly, but we are flexible based on what the group is feeling. keeping a fast pace is of no importance to us, we will walk most uphills to keep our heart rates low. the goal here is just to introduce people to ohill trails so they feel more comfortable using them on their own.
4:30, or thereabouts – return to slaughter recreation center, feeling refreshed, enlightened, and excited for a lifetime of ohill trail usage

bring shoes and clothes appropriate for running, make sure you’re well hydrated before the run
