Hell Creek on Heels 30k and 50k

Just a heads up that I have added a relay team option to the Hell Creek on Heels 30k on September 22nd and to the 50k on November 3rd!

I am hoping this will draw more people to the event to keep the solo runners cheered up and always have someone to 'play' with! And of course, provide you folks with a new challenge that do not think you could run all of the distance on your own!

I do not have this info on the website yet, but I am working on the changes!

Suggested shoes for a really bad ankle

I have a bad ankle and have been running on pavement for the last few months but I am ready to get back on the trails.  I had a severe sprain and tore ligaments (for the 3rd time in my life) in July 2011 and I still have problems with it.   Does anyone have suggestions for trail running shoes.  I noticed that New Balance has a high top running shoe "621 High Trail Running Shoes".  I found some reviews for them but they were mostly from walkers.  I really want to get back on the trails but I…

Governor's Mansion Trail Run

  What up Topekans?!!  I'm new to the area and am looking for a running group of guys to hit the trails.  I noticed that Hunter posted some stuff back in 2011 and wanted to know if there was still interest in the Governor's Mansion Trails for Tuesday evening.  I got lost this past weekend and would like to keep exploring until I can explore no more.  Let me know if you are interested.

  At the moment I am looking for an easy 3-4 mile run to break up the pavement runs and get…
