Meet at 6 PM. The gate to the parking lot will more than likely be closed. *** Please park on east side of 116th, just south of the park entrance here > https://maps.app.goo.gl/F9eYRWN7QKMMcDU79. We will meet off the street by the park entrance. Following introductions, description of route and current trail conditions, plan to start running by 6:10 pm. No parking pass required, since parking on street. There is a restroom at the trailhead though it may be locked since it will be after hours.
This is a casual run through Bridle Trails, the trails should be bouncy and flowy, covering ~5.6 miles and ~406 feet of elevation gain. The plan is to run an average pace of 4-5 mph / 12-15 minute miles, we will be regrouping at trail junctions as it's unlikely for us all to go precisely the same pace.
