WHAT?? The annual Cruise Moab pre-run is a chance to learn a little more about how to lead trails at Cruise Moab, and also get to run a bunch of trails in one weekend! And camp in the beauty of Springtime in Moab and chill around the campfire with an adult beverage and a bunch of cool people.
WHO?? ANYONE is welcome to join us for the weekend. You do not have to be registered for CM or be a Rising Sun member. This weekend is for anyone who wants to lead trails at Cruise Moab, or wants to help train others on trails they know well.
WHY? For fun! But also because we always have a few trails that are tough to find a leader, and the most common excuse is they do not know the specific trail and are not comfortable leading. This weekend gives you a chance to run some trails with an experienced leader of that trail, or if nobody knows it well, then we stumble through it together.
WHEN?? Match 15-17 but I will be out there a couple of days early (and maybe staying later...) we will have a large group campsite 30 minutes or so north of town that has cell phone access and access nearby to bathrooms. There is also plenty of hotels and airbnbs available.
This has been my favorite CM activity since my first pre-run around 15 years ago, I think...
Note we will be doing a LOT of driving this weekend. We want to get all trails covered that people want to run, so we might split up into 2 or 3 groups, depending on who wants to run what trails. So speak up on what you want to run!!
I am helping Dom this year get this trip planned and coordinated onsite. I think the camp site we had last year was pretty decent for an hq, nice and big and open but I still had cell service there, bathrooms not too far away, easy to find at night. etc.
Unfortunately we will not know the trails selected until that weekend, so we will not have an up to date list of trails we need leaders for, but @NotyourmomsWife will let us know some of the trails we always seem to need leaders for. But please post up what trails you would like to lead but would like to run it with some "experts" first and we can get a good schedule for what trails we will be running at the pre run and who can lead them.
I think my first CM pre-run was over 15 years ago and I still get excited for this trip!!
I will probably be there at least a couple of days early to grab a good campsite, scout out some trails, etc.
