Organiser's Description
This is not a race. There is no clock, no bib, no finish time. It is three mornings (and one night) on the trails with good people, a griddle going, and something cold at the tent.
Built for movement.
We meet one Saturday a month through the summer. You run the distance you want on the trail, then come back to the Common tent to eat, drink, and stay a while. The summer opens at first light in June and closes at last light on Labor Day weekend, around the fire.
Pick your path. Register for one event, or get the multi event pass for all four. Multi comes with the bandana and access to everything through September. Buy per event along the way, or buy in for the whole summer.
The Schedule
June 20 Historic Rock Ford, Lancaster County Park trails. Morning.
July 25 Endo Collective, Marietta River Trail. Morning.
August 22 Historic Rock Ford, Lancaster County Park trails. Morning.
September 5 Endo Collective, Marietta. Sunset, fire pits, and s'mores to close the summer.
What's Included
Breakfast off the griddle, eggs and pancakes. Water for everyone, and Common hydration poured at the tent. The trail, the morning, and the company. (Switching out breaky for grilling items for Labor day wellness event)
What to Bring: Yourself and shoes you can run trail in. Whatever distance you're feeling that day, this is yours to decide. The trails are open and the pace is your own.
Where: Two homes for the summer. Historic Rock Ford gives us the Lancaster County Park trail system, woods, creek, and the climb to the overlook. Endo Collective in Marietta puts us on the river trail along the Susquehanna, flat, open, and long.
