Special Dedication: The Harry J. Shipley Memorial Run
This race is dedicated to (race director) Chad's father, Harry J. Shipley, whose birthday is on Monday, November 17th. The event honors his spirit of curiosity, adventure, and appreciation for the roads less traveled.

My dad loved old country roads. Every time he saw one, hed wonder where it led and often followed it. I did the same while mapping out all the trails in Settlerschasing every trail, connecting every dot. Its the Last Trail Standing, and the only way to conquer it is to join the race.
Chad Shipley

One Last Note
