UNITED STATES OF AMERICA VIRGINIA — 2019-01-01 — Triangle. "Red Eye 50km". The course consists of three repeats of a 10-mile loop in Prince William Forest Park, with a short loop at the beginning of the first loop to make it 50km, more or less. If you don't like the recommended course, just run anywhere you want to - this is not a real event. We will not generally hang a lot of streamers, but hope to mark the important turns. The trails are well-blazed. Important Note: Any markings will be taken down by the third loop. So pay attention and learn the course on the first two loops! This is not a real race, no trophies, no T-Shirts, no race entry fees, just the opportunity to run forest trails with your friends. Results will not be posted. Runners should be sure to check in before the race with race director Dave. Check in again after each loop, and, very important note, let Dave know when you have finished, should you bail prior to finishing the full 50k. We will have the one unmanned aid station at the start/finish. We may provide water and some energy replacement drink. In keeping with the Team Slug tradition of this run, we ask that the runners contribute to the aid station, which usually then evolves into a small feast. Please don't bring too much food. Bring enough for you and a couple of inconsiderate participants who bring nothing. Don't bring something for everyone. We generally have had to throw a lot of food away in previous years. There will be no mid-loop aid, but each loop will go through the Turkey Run area after roughly 7 miles, where there is a bathroom. You can get water there. We will not have drinking cups. Bring a water bottle to pour fluids in or just drink out of the container. This event was established before the invention of the Camelbak. www.vhtrc.org/news/redeye

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARIZONA — 2019-03-02 — Sonoita. "Old Pueblo Endurance Runs". Started by a group of local trail runners, all friends, who are still friends, two of whom were married in these mountains. Unknowingly they were actually early pioneers of trail running in Arizona. A sport that has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. Since its inception in 1985, Old Pueblo has taken on many forms and has had different routes, starts, finishes, distances, race directors and its share of ups and downs. But it has always been run on the flanks of the beautiful Santa Rita Mountains. And so it continues. By entering this race you will be running in the footsteps of Arizona history. Not only of Arizona Trail Running History, but of early Native Americans whose footsteps have long marked these trails. Of early ranchers, farmers, migrants and miners who managed to etch out a living in this arid land. Many of their descendants are still here. Starting at the historic mining site of Kentucky Camp the race takes you into the rugged, rocky shadow of Mt. Wrightson along the Arizona Trail. Looking down at you from 9452’, it is one of the tallest peaks in southern Arizona. You will seldom lose sight of it as you run the course. It is truly a beautiful area. So come run in the footsteps of the pioneers and let’s see if you are made of the same cloth! www.oldpueblo50.com

This course is flat, but it can also be lonely and seem never-ending at times. This event is going to be fun, but I promise, it WILL test you! Come on out and try the 100 mile or 100 K race. If you are not ready for those distances yet, make your way to the Outer Banks as a relay and have some fun running with us! The course is 100% paved road with beautiful views, friendly people, and great memories all along the way! www.triviumracing.com/event/blackbeards-revenge-100

The fox and many other animals find their home here. Serra d'Arga has its own microclimate. In Portugal there's no other mountain with so much altitude leaning against the Atlantic. Only ten kilometers separate the sea from the 825m altitude of this mountain at the North of Portugal.
