Nisene Marks Summer Trail Run Series

Wednesday nights are the new Friday night compliments of the newly formed Nisene Marks Summer Trail Run Series! Every Wednesday evening for 12 weeks this summer, June 9 through August 25, local Santa Cruz runners are gathering for the approximately 3.6-3.9 mile race through the woods. We say approximate because there's always the chance you're gonna take the wrong trail!

So far there have been three weeks worth of races and 45 people have shown up. Keep in mind, for some crazy reason, the course seems to slightly change each week, so take the following times with proverbial 'grain of salt.' To date, the fastest male is Johan Schimmel in 24:51, fastest female AND fastest overall time goes to the lovely Marissa Ferrante with a time of 24:38, while the best running stroller time goes to Leo Strudley and his chauffeur... we mean dad, Trevor, in a time of 30:17! Congrats you four!

If you'd like to learn more, check out the series website http://aptosrun.com/. Joins us for check in around 6pm, look for the crew in the green Zoomzer shirts. Race starts promptly at 6:15pm.We hope to see you out there next Wednesday!
