Wet trails, big climbs and good times! That sums up Saturday’s Swiss Valley Trail Run and race #08 in the series pretty well! I personally was able to participate in this year’s event and from my perspective and all the other smiling No Coast faces I talked to, everyone had a great time running the challenging 5mi, 10mi and 25k races at Swiss Valley complete with big hills, creek crossings, scary/fun fast & wet technical descents and delicious post race walking tacos!
With only one race left in the series, point standings are down to the wire with most of the 8 divisions having award places determined by the last race! Who will race, who won’t. What distance? How fast? These are the questions that will determine who wins a coveted NCTS award and who doesn’t.
Standings have been updated and can be viewed at www.nocoasttrailseries.com/standings
Please note, since a runner must complete at least three (3) races to be eligible for awards, any runners that have only ran one race to this point have been moved to a separate tab in the standings document to allow for more clear and concise award standings.
Online registration for The Runner’s Flat (https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=38309) closes tomorrow (Tuesday) night so make sure to get signed up ASAP! You can also sign up in person Friday night or Saturday morning at packet pickup. The recent flooding has forced a change in course for TRF this year but RD Scott Gall & the gang sound like they have it under control and are going to put on another great event as always. Check their FB/site for more info.
