* This run will be held "rain or shine". 

* Please remember that this is a volunteer group and it is "free" to run with the group. That said, there are rules and recommendations as posted on the ULs website. The course arrows are made by volunteers who are not responsible to babysit you during the runs. You are running entirely at your own risk and participation in this run implies that you accept the risk.

DATE:  Saturday, June 18    

 

MEET, GREET, SIGN-IN, GROUP PHOTO: 6:45 AM. Please arrive on time, shoes tied, bottles filled, ready to run at 7:00AM.   

 DIRECTIONS:
~Exit the 101 at Reseda Blvd. Go South on Reseda to Caballero Trail head (across from Braemer Country Club entrance).

PARKING:  

Free curbside parking. Use caution when crossing the street.   

MAX RUNNING TIME & DISTANCE:  21.5-miles or 5h00m; All runners agree to turn-around at 2h20m to allow 2h40m for the return trip.  

~ SIGN IN SHEET: Please use the sign-in sheet at the beginning and end of your run. I need a vehicle license number for every runner! Please note that if you fail to "check off" at the end of your run, you may risk having search and rescue called out at your own expense.  

WATER/TOILETS: Available at Trippett Ranch Musch Camp (mile 6.3, mile 15.2) and at Trippett Parking Lot (mile 7.3 and mile 15.2).

~ ARROWS: Trails will be marked with minimal flour arrows. You will follow the same arrows out and back. There is no guarantee that you wont get lost. Hikers may erase the marks; other running clubs mark their own arrows also; fatigue may cause you to miss an arrow. Pay attention to landmarks to avoid getting lost or better yet, carry your own bottle of flour and make your own arrows (seriously)! Remember, if you want to follow our arrows, you should stay behind the arrow marker.
