SATURDAY MORNING RUN
North Shore Trails Clinton Long Run (Lawrence, KS)
Time:
6:30 a.m.
Run with the Trail Nerds!
A course where with a little instruction, even Sophia doesn't get lost.
You don't have to go the full distance, and can simply turn around at any time,
and
not get lost getting back to the parking lot.
Come run with a fun group with a speed for everyone-- from "extra medium"
to "medium slow" (or schmedium).
Early enough to get in 23 miles and still make it to beautiful downtown Lawrence for a well deserved lunch!
Make it a regular part of your week, and we promise... every weekend will feel like a vacation.
Meet at the trailhead by the Army Corps of Engineers' Shelter #1 parking lot --Directions: Enter the
Army Corps Engineers area, pass the Army Corps Building on your right, pass the out-house potty, and the lot is on your right,
by the shelter.
Note: we will not run these trails if the course is excessively muddy. Meet in the lot and we will
go do an alternate route.

Many of the Trail Nerds love ultrarunning.
Do you want to train to run a 50K, 50-mile, or 100-mile ultramarathon?
Come and join the "Trail Nerds" on a group run, and learn how. We have
the fastest and most experienced local ultrarunners in this part of the Midwest. Why pay someone to "train" on pavement
for a trail ultramarathon?...that's just silly!!!
We have at least four to eight group training sessions PER WEEK. AND IT'S FREE.
We won't "baby" you. You will carry your own water and learn to be self-sufficient, just like you will need to be in
a real ultramarathon. We train year-round...in the heat, snow, ice, and rain. You will learn to deal with
any and all conditions that you will encounter in an actual race.
We are a welcoming group of interesting and inclusive characters. Our simple rules
for running are: No pavement, no whiners, and HAVING FUN!
