Virtual Muffin Run

This year I am not organizing a Muffin Run as I usually have in the past, around this time of year. If you feel you have it in you though, please feel free to run the end-to-end route. The route begins at the Gibraltar Trail parking lot gate, and ends at the end of the Admiral Lake Loop at the other gate at the end of Bayer's Mill Road. The route is almost all on the singletrack wilderness trail, except for the first  ten metres or so, and the very last kilometre of double track.In total it is approximately 25km, and will take somewhere betweem 3 to 5 hours to complete.

Once you have completed the route, you can send me your time, and I will compile a list of runners that have completed it with your recorded time, gate-to-gate. If you send me your time, please make sure it does not deduct time for stoppage, as some watches have this funny little feature. And be honest, etc.

The trails are in amazing shape these days, and even if you don't do the full 25 you should go check out the trails. If you want to send me a time for a half loop, or variation I can include that in the compilation under a separate sub-section. If you want to do an out and back on the 25km route - 50km - please send me the info - I do not think this has ever been attempted! If you are planning on doing it, I am thinking sometime before the 15th of December will be the cutoff date to finish compiling the finishers. I can always add you later though, if you were busy training before that date : )

Please be careful out there, and run with snacks, charged mobile, a shell, water, and a buddy if possible.
