Living history

Is that the name of the race Living History?

I've done it a couple times, it's a great event and a lot of fun!  A few tips though...traffic is a real issue, the first year I did it I stayed at an off site hotel, and left an hour and a helf before the race.  The hotel was less than 2 miles away.  I got to the start line about 3 minutes before the gun!  Also, if you plan to run at any pace at all, make sure you are lined up at least halfway up, probably further up, or you'll be walking and dodging traffic for a long time.  Be a little cuatious in the 2nd half when the trails are wet, they get a little slippery by that point.  Be hungry at the end, because there is a great spread.  Have fun!

Thanks for the tips looking forward to the food hopefully they will leave some for me. I heard bring extra clothes and garbage bags to throw your muddy clothes in, nice little tip I never would have thought of.

Living history farms cross country race. Sounds like it will be a fun muddy mess.

I just tried to register and its full. Sounds like a great time, best o luck to you guys and have fun.

I'm in - My first time too... thanks for the traffic advice, am local, so would not have thought to get there that early. May park at work and bike the few miles to the start?

Yeah, it filled in 5 or 6 days. Ankeny is where I will be staying with relatives, anyone got a quick way to get there?

I will be doing my second year at the Farm. Looking forward to betting muddy, wet and enjoying the wonderful food! See you all there!!!!
