How it all started, 2011 |
Last June, the Flipped Truck Fat Ass was born. To read
the account of that run, see the blog entry from June 8, 2011. I said then that
you could mark your calendars for the first Sunday in June, 2012, for the second
running. True to my word, Marc, Jason, Nick and I gathered off coal road last
Sunday for the second edition.
This year’s run was less eventful than the run last year,
but just as enjoyable. If you haven’t run out at Sherando yet, you owe it to
yourself to explore some of the best trails our area has to offer. Similarly,
if you haven’t made it out to a CAT group run yet, you owe it to yourself to
hang out with some of the coolest trail runners our area has to offer …
The nice thing about the Flipped Truck run is that we run a
figure 8 course, which is basically two 16 mile loops, so you don’t need to commit
to the entire 50k distance.
Mark your calendars now for the 3rd running of
Flipped Truck- First weekend in June, 2013!

I cant believe i have never noticed this before but shouldnt you guys be pushing the truck the other way. Leave it to ultra runners to try and push a truck onto its roof instead of the wheels...lol
