Quick heads-up on a summer mountain running series I’m organizing called ‘Tour de Peaks,’ which involves running (5) prominent peaks in the ‘Issaquah Alps’ over (5) consecutive days. Essentially, the plan is to meet in the evenings at a designated trailhead and start the day’s run to the pre-selected peak. Points will be awarded to the top 5 finishers on each day’s peak, with awards being presented at the end of the week to the top 3 overall point earners. After completing the climb, we will all re-assemble at the top and jog back down as a group.
Additionally, there will be a selection of post-run micro-brews after each day’s “stage.” The $15 for the series goes to providing as much micro-brew as everyone can drink after each stage, with the remainder going to booby prizes for the top overall point earners. If you're interested, let me know so I can make a placeholder. If you're interested, but not sure about the dates, let me know as well.
