The Chamber of Commerce would like to see a marathon event continue in the Canyon, so they have asked the club for assistance. The event will open in a different name but the dates will stay the same. If you would like us to contact you about this event should we take it on, please email run4trc@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05197681334698446059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-72128550656107891012016-02-02T18:56:10.176-05:002016-02-02T18:56:10.176-05:00I hadn't heard of this area (or the race).

He was so concerned about the heat that he was training with a Cambelbak backpack so he could have plenty of water. I've been to the Grand Canyon of PA but not the race course. The "trail" we took there was straight down and then straight back up, so it was a killer. I assume the course would be along the rim because the canyon is so steep and wouldn't match that elevation chart. Definitely check it out beforehand!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789773999034928321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-25373592010478451852016-02-02T12:17:27.338-05:002016-02-02T12:17:27.338-05:00That looks like such a beautiful place for a race!...That looks like such a beautiful place for a race!!!

I lived in PA for over a decade and never knew there was a Grand Canyon there! The half sounds like a great way to enjoy the scenery and not deal with as many hills.

The medal is gorgeous and I would think the location could help with the heat in July. You are lucky to have a summer distance race near you. By the time summer gets to NC, the best we have are 5k's and honestly you don't even want to sign up for those due to the heat and humidity.Two Runners Travel https://www.blogger.com/profile/10446814348862304394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-51188164711053342682016-02-02T07:46:04.152-05:002016-02-02T07:46:04.152-05:00This looks like a great race!
