2008 Race Report
 
We had to re-route the course and eliminate our usual crossings of the Blue River, which was flowing fast and deep.  The course was a Garmin-305-measured 6.84-miles, so we'll call it an "even" seven.
 
The participants feet still got wet at "appropriate intervals."  Just as your feet would start to dry out, you would hit another water crossing.  There was no mud...it was cold and "crunchy" on the trails.
 
We had the same number of entrants as last year...80; even though the weather was colder, there was a time change, and the course situation was "tentative."  Everybody seemed to have a good time!
 
Thanks again to our sponsors: Vasque, GoreTex, Garry Gribble's Running Sports, and Dr Jesse Walden, DC., Dick Ross (SeeKCRun.com).

2007 Race Report:

Well, we had a record year at the Red Bridge Ramble. Eighty Starters braved a cold morning to run on the beautiful trails and go splashing through the multiple water crossings.

The top 3 spots were claimed by speedy young runners, led by Justin Andrews of Kansas City. Angela Ballard was first female, with Emily Horn and Sarah Sinning coming in 2nd and 3rd females, respectively. Mike Swords was first Masters Male, and Deb Johnson was 1st Masters Female.  Israel Gulley (8 years old), was our youngest trailrunner to date, and Lou Joline claimed the "Oldest Root-Tripper" award.

Thanks to all of the volunteers, the Kansas City Trail Nerds and Vasque Shoes for making this a memorable race.
