I haven't run that one, but I know about it. You've chosen a heck of a race for your first trail run. It will be a lot of fun, but add about 20% to the time/effort you'd need for a comparable road race.

I really wanted to do that race this year and got peer-pressured into signing up for a 50K in Alabama that weekend! Like Meerkat said, it takes a lot more effort to run trails that on road. Times are hard to compare but you should expect to be 1-2 minutes per miles slower on average, especially single track trails.

Have fun and enjoy the race!

Hey Roy,

Happy New Year! Looks like you have a good group to mentor this season, and thanks for all your help last season. See you on the trails.
