Monday Giveaway – Mendota Trail Bottoms 10 mile or 5k Race!
What a better way to start out the week than with a giveaway, right?
Have you been looking for a 5k or 10 mile race distance in Mid-August? August 20th, specifically? Well, well – look no further! The Mendota Bottoms 10 mile and 5k will be held August 20th this year.
I am contemplating doing the 5k there – or the 10 mile, but I don’t want to count on being able to do the mileage I currently am, since who knows what another month might bless me with. But — I’d really like to try it; I’ve heard so many great things about it!
A few of the fun things: the “trail” is absolutely gorgeous… and as road-racer friendly as a trail race can get!

I love their T-shirt hoodie! Super soft, lightweight, and just different from your typical race swag. *love*

There is usually pretty good competition, especially in the 10 miler. TNC’s very own Craig and Jeff duked it out last year, finishing in 58:12 (1st) and 59:29 (3rd) respectively. Last year’s 10 mile results are here; 5k results here.

Plus, it’s organized by Mountain Goat Running, which always does a fabulous job. Need I say more?
