Ate too much candy on Halloween? Let's burn it off with a long trail run on Dia de Los Muertos! Bonus points for dressing for the occasion!

It's finally cooled off - let’s get dirty and hit the trails during daylight! We will run a 9.5-mile loop from the Pima Canyon Parking lot. The Pacing will vary, but we won't get spread out too far and there will be a couple of stops to allows everyone to regroup & recoup.

Mandatory gear includes:
- 40-60 oz of water, preferably with electrolytes (a hydration vest with flasks or 2 handhelds are a great solution) – this is a mandatory amount of water to remain with the group for the entire 2-2.5 hours!!
- Sturdy shoes capable of handling semi-rugged trail conditions. Trail running shoes with lugs are HIGHLY recommended.
- Snacks sufficient to fuel a run of approx. 2-2.5 hours

We’ll meet by the restrooms and head out at 7am, so please arrive early and be ready to roll by 7.
