Mediocre Enger Trails
We started in Enger. Looked like a fun group before it even started 🙂 some faces that don’t come that often. Everyone had been here before, and most people knew each other even if some specific people hadn’t met we didn’t do formal introductions, just a few small ones. Jennifer came back, and I didn’t…

Piedmont and Hartley
The Mediocre Trail friends got out a couple times this week. Our usual Thursday run was in Piedmont. Everywhere we go feels fun, and also feels like we haven’t been there in a long time. We hung out in the parking lot before, and talked about our plans to eat cheesecake to celebrate Nate’s birthday…

Mediocre Lester Park run
we met at the parking lot, lured in with promises of beverages, snacks, and trail running. The friendship was implied. This week me, Lonna, Nate, Maddy, Brian, and Riley, were joined by a new guy named Peter. Even though Riley was there, there was very little talk of dental history. The conversation started in the…

Afton Trail Races 2025

Mediocre Voted On Run
Peter is back!!! I think there is debate whether it was him or Riley that started mediocre trail runners, but it is always a happy day when either of them come back. This week we voted on our Mediocre Trail Run. And even though I was really pulling for Lily’s cul de sac, Brownell won.…

Mediocre Mudder, obstacles and friends
The Mediocre Trail Runners hit the road on a not-Thursday run. Not sure if it was technically a trail, but defiantly trail-like. We did the 15k course of “Tough Mudder” and obstacle course with lots of running between the obstacles. Probably not getting the order right, and probably forgetting some of the obstacles. Ethan and…

Mediocre Trail Maintenance
Mediocre Trail Runners isn’t just about running. We do volunteer work too. On thursday we decided to omit the run and to some trail maintenance, weed whacking and pruning, to keep our trails looking good. We, unfortunately had a limited number of spots. Some people signed up and didn’t come, but some came with short…
