The Mines of Spain Trail Races took place this past Saturday in Dubuque and runners were treated to beautiful August weather and some challenging but gorgeous trails for series race #05!

Congratulations to all MoSTR runners and special kudos to all of the No Coast runners at the race, many of which placed high in the standings and in their age groups!

On the Club side, Thorsday TC (674.3 pts) are maintaining a narrow lead over the QC-TUR(d)s (648.2 pts) with the LoKeyz staying within sight in 3rd place with 434.4 pts! We now move into the second half of the series schedule where lots of Ultra points wait for the taking! Please note, the deadline to join/change Club affiliation is September 11th.

You or someone you know running No Coast races and aren’t signed up for the series yet?! Sign up! It’s free, takes all of 10 seconds and will put you (and your running club) in the chase for some sweet division awards! Plus your participation supports an incredible community of trail races in this great state of Iowa!

Next weekend we have the newest race to No Coast, the ScoCo50 featuring 50k and 10mi races and September brings us the Booneville Backroads Ultra on the 2nd with PCTR – Pleasant Creek Trail Run the following weekend on the 9th and the Doggone Tired Ultra rounding out the month on the 23rd!
