Event Description
Ivory has been dragging me through trails for a while now. The joke is every time we get to a "great overlook" I threaten to push her. I started using the hashtag #dontpushivory.
Since a lot of people have expressed an interest in trail running we thought we would have a fun little 10k through the mountains.
