Fellow trail runners, Enjoy the short drive out to Prettyboy Reservoir on Sunday May 9 for the second race in this year's BRRC Billy Goat Trail Race Series. The race starts at 8:30AM with race day registration only starting at 7:45. Two dollars for BRRC members, six dollars for non-members.

John Roemer IV says this about the course "After a half mile of paved road the 10K course becomes about 4.5 miles of fire roads (with one hill) through forest around the reservoir. A quarter mile of road then leads to a mile of single-track trail with a short hill.

This is great trail running and well worth the drive. Questions can be directed to John Roemer IV at roemeriv@juno.com or Chris Cucuzzella at cucuzzella@LoyolaBlakefield.org
