READING DAY 3 RIDGES TRAIL RUNNING

OVERVIEW

HELLO PARTY PEOPLE <3. I only have presentations this finals season, and as a slightly checked-out 4th year that means I have to have some fun on the reading day. We will be trail running the iconic three ridges loop (roughly 13-14 miles and 4k ft of elevation). This makes the trip technically intermediate but I will happily go slow and walk as needed. There will be some water on the trails, but it’s best to carry extra. Below is a rough schedule of the day: 7:00am- Meet at Echols and head out 8:00am- Arrive at trailhead Run Run Run ?? Return to trailhead Get lunch? 3 ish Return home What you need (some of this gear can be rented out from the gear room!!!): -Backpack/vest - i have extras if needed – Snackies, meals. Remember, you will need more calories than usual! -Appropriate shoes – Toilet paper -3L+ carrying capacity for water *****A link with info about the route https://www.theoutbound.com/virginia/backpacking/backpack-three-ridges-loop
