Blue Ridge Tunnel Run

OVERVIEW

Are you into running? Have you ever seen the blue ridge tunnel?

Well this trip will combine the blue ridge tunnel and dick woods road, a popular gravel road to run. As a 4th year who has never been to either, I feel like this is the perfect time to go! This trip is going to be an 11-12 mile run from blue ridge tunnel west to the end of dick woods road. This trip will be for intermediate runners who feel confident in running at least 11 miles. We can run at whatever pace people feel comfortable at (seriously no pace is to slow so DO NOT FEEL INTIMIDATED)!

*NOTE that this run is almost entirely downhill with a net gain of -1000 feet*.
*NOTE AGAIN* We will need a second car so we can shuttle from the top to the bottom so a driver would be ever so appreciated (and will get off the waitlist first)!

The plan
*Meet at 8:00am (we can figure out the best place for everyone)
*8:15: Drop off car at finish and drive to the start
*8:50: Start the run at the tunnel
*10:30-11:00: Finish run
*Get the car at the start and get home by around 11:30

What to bring:
*Headlamp for the tunnel
***The rest are optional but make sure you you feel confident that you won’t need it during the run***
*A small backpack/running vest to hold your items
*Water for the run AND in the car for afterwards (I would recommend around ~1L of water for the run)
*Snacks/food if you like it while running
