Hey all, I flew out to Loudonville, Ohio a couple of weekends ago (6/20-21) to pace a friend through the last 40 miles of the Mohican 100–her first 100 miler.  She says she wasn't feeling it at all, but still finished well in 27:28 and 32nd overall.  The trail was actually quite nice, and I'm just glad there…

I will be going out about 7:00 am on Saturday morning to do a treck loop, perhaps more.  You are welcome to join me.  We will be visiting all the sites that Marv  enjoyed and loved, in hopes of selecting a proper site to place his memorial stool.   Water tank park at 7:00. aloha,  Mike Muench

Almost One Hundred runners turned out for what became the Mango Marv Memorial Run, after the death of one of the co-race directors of the Mango Madness on Saturday.   Despite the confusion that seemed to reign on the trail and among the race organizers the race went off well and almost everyone made it back to the…
