In 2009 Sierra and her "Trail Mix" group directed our
inaugural trail series, using six parks in southern MD
(two in each county, by design).
We were lucky enough to draw a lot of easy going runners, and
we had a good time.
We captured photos
of all six trail runs.

Our inaugural (2009) ironmen participants were Mike Fagnano, Scott Payne,
Sue Manuel, and George Sisson, who raced 6 of 6.
Honorable mentions to Claire Chiamulera, Perry Rapp, and David and
Dave Walser, who raced 5 of 6.

In 2010 we attempted to repeat the trail series, but our scheduled first trail run,
at Myrtle Point, was hit by snowstorm. A small group of us ran it informally anyway,
in the driving snow, and then most of us managed to drive home successfully.
The snowstorms continued that winter, and we abandoned the remainder of the 2010 trail series.

In 2011 we repeated the trail series successfully, scheduling five trail runs, and then
actually executing six trail runs -- we were able to add St Mary's City as a late addition.
We captured photos from all six runs.
We received snow in our first run, at Kings Landing Park, but not heavy, and it was very pretty,
and looks pretty in the photos as well.
The 2011 trail runs went through snow, rain, and cold, and drew both some faithful
locals and some adventurous people from up the road.

and George Sisson, who raced 6 of 6.

In 2012 we repeated the same series as 2011. We had over 40 participants at both Kings Landing
and Calvert Cliffs, and we had various weather including wind that broke our poptent at Maxwell
Hall Park, but all went successfully.

Our 2012 ironmen participants were Neal Offenbacher, Perry Rapp, George Sisson,
Char Staats, and Noah Wood, who raced 6 of 6.
Honorable mentions to Jeanne Larrison, Bill Scheetz, and Dave Walser, who raced 5 of 6.
Honorable mention to Peanut, who raced 4 of 6, a new canine trail series record.

| Questions |

Eco-friendly? If you bring your own beverage container, you can help reduce our usage of disposable cups.
Walking: Running, walking, or any mix you like is fine.
Pets: I believe all the parks we use allow dogs on leash
-- see MD state park pet policy
(note: owners must clean up after pets).
So as long as your pet is leashed and non-threatening, you are welcome.
Several of our members have brought pets to trail races, and sometimes
the pet name appears also in the results.
Run More: Often several of us run the course again afterward, to retrieve flags, cones, and markers, and anyone is welcome to come run, and perhaps help carry stuff :)
Other: Contact Perry for further information.
