Saturday ADV? Sugar Hollow mountain run

OVERVIEW

Haven’t seen a lot of trail runs posted in the last year or so – we gotta bring that back. What’s not to love about a good mountain run? I put the level as ADV? cause I’m really not a particularly advanced trail runner. I tend to find myself walking up much anything more than a slight incline. But, at the same time, I’d definitely catch some flak for calling a 19mi loop intermediate. So, I think we’ll probably expect to move at 4 or 5 mph average and keep it pretty chill. If you’re on the fence about joining, feel free to reach out to me or Marion (you can find our #’s by clicking our profile).

Here’s the route: https://www.hikingproject.com/trail/7031907/sugar-hollow-loop. Hiking project says it’s 18.5mi with 2700′, which from experience I’d guess actually means like 20mi 2900′.

Approx schedule:
8a – meet at Echols
8:45 – arrive at TH
1:15 – back at car
2 – back on grounds

Things to bring:
– Sturdy trail running shoes, or hiking boots
– Layers (check weather)
– Lots of water (2 liters minimum I’ll probably pack 3)
– Snacks (I highly recommend taking whatever leftovers you have and throwing them in a zip lock)
