Purpose: Fun! Frolicking in the mountains together! Meeting new trail running buddies! Hanging out at the campfire :) There will be NO official trail running trips - this is an event for experienced trail runners to hang out, plan longer adventures, and introduce trail running leaders and enthusiasts to one another.

Trip date: Saturday, October 3 - Sunday, October 4. You can plan to arrive to Camelot Friday night or drive up with your car directly to climb Saturday morning. Most people will probably leave after trail running adventures on Sunday.

Trail Running Groups: This weekend is open to all trail runners, but to ensure everyone who attends has a good time, make sure you have an idea of what projects/distances you’re interested in and ideally know at least one person who might be interested in the same types of adventures. If in doubt, check out this brainstorming spreadsheet and put your name down for ideas that speak to you or add your own! We’ll take a look the week before to make sure everyone has at least one person interested in similar routes.

Location: MITOC’s Camelot cabin! Further location logistics will be provided in pre-trip email after signups close. Expect to camp (i.e. in a tent) for the night since there is very limited space indoors.

Shared Meals: There will be a group dinner together in the cabin on Saturday night and breakfast in the cabin on Sunday morning. MITOC relies on volunteer power, so everyone partaking will be responsible to either help cook, or help clean. If you’re excited to be a principal cook (please someone!!), and/or bring groceries, please email the leaders. Lunch/snacks is on you.

Cost: The cost of this trip is ~$30 (for cabin usage, dinner, and breakfast). If you'd like to bring your own food, you can instead pay $15 (cabin usage only). Passengers also typically pay their drivers ~$30 for the trip up and back; drivers will ask you to pay them directly.

If this cost is prohibitive, please let me know! Everyone is welcome on this trip :)

Deadlines:

• Sign-up on this trip page by 7pm on Tuesday Sep 29th (when the lottery runs). If you do not sign up by then, we cannot guarantee there will be food for you! You’ll receive a logistics email on Wednesday Sep 30th confirming your spot on this trip, prompting you to pay, and with a rideshare. Please make sure when signing up that your car information on the website is correct - it helps us determine the number of spots.

• Please fill out the Route planning/friend-finding doc by the time the lottery runs as well!
