Tyler State Park will be hosting the Piney Woods Ultra Trail Run put on by Ultra Expeditions this Saturday, September 19th. Please note that this foot race will utilize Loops A-D & EZ all day Saturday and those trails will not be accessible to mountain biking or hiking at that time. Those wishing to hike on Saturday may still hike on Whispering Pines or the Lakeshore trail. All trails will be back open to the public on Sunday, September, 20th. Thanks for understanding so we can keep our racers safe on the trails.
Many aid stations situated along the routes offered first aid in addition to water, electrolyte drinks (which were poured into runners' personal bottles), and various sweet, salty, and savory snacks.
The event today featured 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k, and 100k races between 7 am this morning and 1 am on Sunday. The 100k finishers will run 9 times around the entire trail system. About 200 runners participated, hoping to finish to receive a medal or/and receive the top male or top female award.
100k? We can't imagine running 1k!
