A New Season Begins!

Now that Kodiak High School's Cross Country Season has officially started, there will be no more organized trail runs until next summer. This site will now have updates of our season as we run around the island and compete on the mainland and here at home. Happy Trails!

Wednesday Run Changed!

Instead of running what will be a very wet Salonie Creek, we're going to meet at Marcus Dunbars house (1477 Selief) to run his new trail access of Russian Ridge. Hope to see you there!

Pyramid Mt.

Dunbar will meet tonight's runners at the base of Pyramid mt., past the golf course at the old ski chalet parking lot. More of a run/hike/run, and careful coming back down! But if the clouds cooperate there's a beautiful view at the top, and possibly some salmonberries along the way.

Jack Lakes Runners

A Clean Start at Jack Lakes

A pre-run pic of the ones who started together at 6pm, several trickled in later and 7 individuals proceeded to lose and find the trail for an extra 1.5 hours after everyone else had finished. Luckily everyone WAS eventually found...muddy, tired and wet!

Jack Lake run and BBQ

Looking forward to seeing some runners for tonights mudfest as it has been raining for a few days now and the trail will likely be muddy, especially on the second part of the loop. Join us for a BBQ in honor of Sam Salus's 19th B-day at his house in the flats afterwards, just bring your appetite, a towel and change of clothes so we don't track the trail into the Salus house!

Wednesdays Russian Ridge

On a hot and dusty day, the trees can provide nice temps for a trail run. the top of the ridge was hot but the beginning and end were pleasant and soft of the joints, very nice! Some of the guys made a monster loop and found a new single track on the backside, running for 70minutes at a quick clip!
