This race weekend sees the Dirty Girl Trail Race on Saturday morning. Day-of Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. and although it’s women only, oh, and one man who has already been chosen, men are urged to volunteer for the race. The course, about a 10K or 6.2 miles, is a hilly and rugged route at Tin Mountain Conservation Center in Albany.
Race Director Leslie O’Dell promises roots, rocks, mud and bog bridges for a fun and challenging race. As of Wednesday, there were 136 women signed up for the race, oh, and that one lucky man! See runreg.com/7647 for more information.
