Friday Morning Trail Run — Turk Mountain

OVERVIEW

Turk Mountain is a 2.5 mile out and back trail located in Shenandoah! We will be heading out early Friday morning to get in a good 3-5 mile trail run. (Once we finish Turk Mountain we can run along the AT for however long people want to!) This trip is leaving early because the rain is supposed to start later Friday morning. The goal is to get a run in then get back to Cville before the rain and in time for any late morning classes!

Prior trail running experience is not necessary, but be prepared for a rocky, leaf-covered trail with variable inclination.

We will meet at the Echols Brick Wall at 7am on Friday. It’s about a 45 minute drive to the trailhead, and we will leave about an hour for running. Since we are leaving so early it may still be chilly out, so dress appropriately!

Please Bring:
— Warm Layers
— Water
— Snacks
— Good running shoes

I will be driving, so the max number of people is 5 until more drivers sign up. If you can drive, you get a 50% tip! I have a park pass, so there will be no fee for entering the park.
