As an inducement to attract more volunteers to lead trail runs at the 35th Anniversary Celebration in Moab this October 9 through 13, and as token of our appreciation to those who have already stepped up and volunteered, the Board is offering $10 worth of tickets for the general raffle (not the trailer raffle) to each trail leader at the event. We are a long way from having enough leaders for all of the trails that our group will want to run during the five full days of the event, so please consider leading a run and helping us make this event the huge success we all hope and expect it will be!
If you are willing and able to be a run leader, please send me a pm. Thanks very much!
 
A handful of folks have stepped up so far, and their help is much appreciated! But for this event to be the success that we are all hoping for, we need several more trail leaders. So, come on. Please don’t make me beg and grovel. That’s so undignified!

Seriously though, if you think you’re not qualified to lead a run because you’re not very familiar with the trails in Moab, or maybe not familiar with them at all, here’s a tip: The Third Edition Guide to Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails by Charles A. Wells (2016), available on Amazon.com or directly from the publisher at funtreks.com, includes really precise directions, including for each trail a “mileage log” identifying topographical features and giving really clear directions at each decision point along any given trail. I can’t vouch for its accuracy from personal experience, but it does look like any nimrod should be able to follow the directions pretty darned easily. So if you can wheel, and if you can read, and if you want this event to be great, please get in touch with me and volunteer to lead a run.
