The photo of dozens of trail runners with faces covered, hats, gloves and special apparel designed for cold weather taking off from the start line as heavy snow falls is stunning.
And that page A1 photo in The Express in Wednesday's edition says it all: A LOT OF PEOPLE appreciate and want to be involved in the many trail runs Clinton County hosts.
Congratulations to Fire on the Rocks Race Diretor Craig Fleming and his crew for yet another successful event last weekend.
Craig is a driving force -- along with others who we've mentioned before -- in organizing and executing these top-notch trail events.
The many volunteers who help are awesome! Their dedication to these events is priceless.
Last weekend's race drew 250 competitors.
Conditions were tough.
Heavy snow.
White out conditions, in fact.
A very stiff breeze.
Bitter cold temperatures.
Of the more than 400 people registered, about 160 did not pick up a racer's bib last Saturday. Those who did make it came mostly from Pennsylvania, but there were also participants from New York and New Jersey.
In all, 241 people finished the 10K, with the last participant coming in at three hours, 25 minutes.
Photos of the event show fun -- and the desire for a healthy lifestyle.
Thanks to the Clinton County Visitors Bureau for the hard work to promote the events and spread the word that this region has some of the best outdoor recreation in the world.
