Special Dedication: The Harry J. Shipley Memorial Run
This race is dedicated to Chad's father, Harry J. Shipley, whose birthday falls on race day. 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 this coursechasing every trail, connecting every dot. This route touches them all. Its the Last Trail Standing, and the only way to conquer it is to join the race.
Chad Shipley
