Listed in no particular order are the details for the training run for Bel Monte Endurance Runs. 1. PLEASE RSVP by emailing me with how many people including yourself will be coming.

My email address is This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it 2. Everyone is required to have some sort of hydration system with them for the run, i.e. handbottle or camelbak. I will have water at about the halfway point of the run. Everyone needs to bring their own gels or food that they wish to have during the run. 3. We will be running the 25K course which is 15 or so miles and there will be places to cut the run short if you like. 4. Everyone will be able to run at their own pace or pair up with someone. I will have maps of the route we are running. There will only be the permanent markers on the trees and signs on the trails, so go to www.badtothebone.biz <http://www.badtothebone.biz> and read the details of the course and be familiar with it. 5. There will be a sign-in sheet for everyone and you ALSO need to sign-out when you are done so that I know you have gotten back to the park safely. 6. Directions to the park, for mapquest or GPS use the address: 3440 Mt. Torrey Road Lyndhurst, VA 22952 This will put you at the entrance to Sherando Lake Recreation Area. Once inside the park drive to the guard gate, there is a park fee of 5 bucks. Drive down the main road and stay to the left after you cross the bridge and we will meet at the Beach lodge parking lot which is the first parking lot on the right after you make the sharp right turn. Look for my blue jeep cherokee. 7. PLEASE arrive early so that we can have a short course briefing and be on the trail as close to 8am as possible. Allow enough drive time and time to get your stuff ready. 8. Dress accordingly, this is still january in VA so come prepared for anything.
