We received an unusual high number of registrations from runners residing in Florida. Hmmmm. Do they thing they have an edge, because they are used to higher temps?
Once again, if we get more then 400 female runners, we will have female cut tech shirts (last years small was tiny, consider a medium if in doubt)
Agegroup awards are done (For the 1/2 Sauer and the Dirty German), picture posted under races.

Registration
for the Dirty German Endurance Fest is doing very well. We are closing
in on 200 runners, and estimate about 350 runners on race day. The
agegroup awards came in from Germany. Very cool looking weatherhouses.
I will post pics soon. Once again, the course is pretty easy by
trail/ultra standards, however May 22nd might be on the warmer side,
that is going to be part of the challenge. See you in a
couple of weeks.
Happy trails

in the Reading Eagle about the 1/2 Sauer 1/2 Kraut. We at

It's official. Our marathon is a Boston
qualifyer. I do not know, why I gave in to dozends of emails
from
runners urging me do get the course certified. Who in their
right
state of mind, would like to run that fast , what basically is the
beginning of summer. The course is quite fast, so you do have
a
shot, unless of course it get's too warm. Let's keep our fingers
crossed.

We
have
placed the order for the age group awards. These unique awards
come from the Black Forest of Germany. They are
german
weather houses. They can predict future weather pretty much
as
reliable as "Glen Hurrican Schwarz" . Here is how they work:
There
is a gut string inside
which reacts to all changes in air humidity. Depending on wether the
air is dry or humid, the gut string changes it's position and twists
more or less, so that the female turns outside when it is dry
(predicting nice weather) and the male, when it is humid. We will go 5
deep for 16-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and Top 3 60+

as a
training run for a slightly longer and hotter race: The
imfamous Badwater 135.

player out there. Check out his short bio below:
Donald
Bitterlich (born January 5, 1954 in Warminster, Pennsylvania)
is
a former professional American football player who played in one NFL
season
in
1976 for the Seattle Seahawks. Bitterlich kicked the first field goal
