SUMMARY:The First Howl: Trails & Nog
DESCRIPTION:The First Howl: Trails & Nog is everything you could hope for in a winter trail party…snowy trail loops\, a book hunt\, and a bit of eggnog to top off the festivities!\nTRAILS: Runners will have 4 hours to complete 3 separate loops on the Crevasse Moraine trail system. There will be a 5 mile\, 3 mile\, and 1 mile loop. At bib pick up\, each runner will spin the wheel to determine the order of their loops. At the halfway point of each loop\, runners must find a hidden book and tear out the page that matches their bib number (Barkley style) and return their page to the RD at the completion of that loop. The first M/F runners to complete all 3 loops and turn in their 3 pages will be the winner.\nNOG: After runners have finished their trail loops they can participate in the valley’s first Nog Mile (like a Beer Mile but more festive). Runners will drink their first glass (8oz) of eggnog at the start line pavilion then run a 1/4 mile before returning to the pavilion for their next glass. Fastest M/F runners to complete 4 loops (1 mile) without throwing up will be the winner. Eggnog will be provided but donations are appreciated. Please email us if you plan to bring some to share.\nThere are three options for registering. Runners can sign up for both the Trails & Nog Mile\, Trails ONLY\, or Nog Mile ONLY.
