Slick Rock night run

Yes that is correct.
Yeah I would say if you can't run a good trail without a spotter guiding you, a night run might be a bad idea. Slick Rock is not that hard of a trail but if you don't know what to watch out for you could end up on your lid fast.
With that said this is not my run, and I don't make up the rules.
For more information keep reading all the threads in the SierraFest section, most all the questions have been answered at least once, and more information will be posted soon.

That's pretty good advice too.
What's funny is some difficult spots on any trail are sometimes easier to run at night when you can't see anything and don't know how hard the obstacle really is

So true, and it also helps when you can't tell how far of a drop off it is if you don't make it!!!!! :eyes:

No problem. Going on some trail runs prior to SierraFest is a good thing to do. Don't worry about being a newbie though. We are newbie friendly. :cheers:

Its still early. We haven't decided on Thursday vs Friday night yet and I want to leave that open until closer to the event. As far as time goes, I am planning on leaving Hermit Valley around dusk so we aren't gone too late into the night.
ok cool i just gotta figure out what time i gotta leave work in reno on friday to meet up with ya guys...

Thats good (or maybe bad in a way too?) We started the Rubicon one time in the dark with a full moon and with the reflection off the slabs it was close to daylight. You could walk around easily without a flashlight. It was very cool indeed.

Wow. Very cool.
Eric is right about the full moon wheelin being awesome, that rubicon trip we took is still one of my favorite wheeling experiences ever. We used our rock lights, but you barely even needed them with how bright it was. Slick rock will be very fun at night...

Probably not since we are running the same trail the next morning.
Right now I am leaning towards having the night run on Thursday night.
