SUMMARY:Halloween Art Run: Pumpkin
DESCRIPTION:  \nBeen a little bit since our last art run.I want to try again. Let’s get the Halloween spirit going with a nice big pumpkin\, inspired by an original artwork created by Dot (of the bunny run fame)\nIf you don’t know what an art run is\, I think the pictures probably explain it better than words. Feel free to ask any questions.\nFollow the leader\, follow the map\, or follow gps directions. It all works. Ideally it looks like a bunny when we are done.\nFeel free to dress in costumes. But not a requirement.\nPlanning to stop a few times along the way to regroup and hang out. 6.3ish mile course. Pretty flat. All paces welcome \nmeeting at the corner of Maryland Ave and 23rd st in Superior. 2301 Maryland Avenue for GPS route\, but don’t knock on their door\, they don’t know who we are.\n  \n

SUMMARY:Enger a Different Way
DESCRIPTION:know I know we just did Enger. Here is my thought process. The incline stair case just down the road is opening this night just before our run. I was thinking of parking at Enger running down to the stairs do them come back up and meet everyone 6pm at Enger tower. Then at Enger tower at 6pm we will run either down the SHT and up Craft connector or we can go toward 24th ave. West parking lot and back. For those that are interested in going down to the Incline stairs I think I will be starting at Enger 5:15pm. All paces welcome and all distance welcome. Both of these are down and backs so go as far as you will like. After TBD. It is starting to get dark so considering getting into the habit of bringing a headlamp. If you do not have one please refer to Kelly Johnson I know she has one.

SUMMARY:Lost Forester Charity Race Cloquet MN
DESCRIPTION:Lost Forester Race Cloquet \nsign up on ultrasignup \nhttps://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=126674 \n2 different charity races. The short one is a more traditional style 5.5k trail run through pine valley. The longer one is a variable distance orienteering race. Follow markings to the next set of markings and keep searching for more as they eventually lead you to data cards that tell you where to go next. People traditionally form groups\, even people that have never met anyone there generally group up as they try to figure out the where to go. Very much terrain\, going off the path through woods\, potentially through swamp or anything else that can be in the forest. Test your skills in Northern Minnesota’s version of the Barkley marathon (but much shorter\, and much easier\, but the same spirit.)\nEntrants are encouraged to wear flannel\, the traditional attire of the lost forester. And join us for pancakes\, sausage\, and orange juice\, after the races.\n100% of the profit (after paying expenses) goes to charity\, the Blue House Uganda.\n\nsign up on ultrasignup\n\nhttps://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=126674\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lost Forester Runs of Pine Valley provides community and visiting runners a family friendly trail run on Saturday August 23\, 2025 morning and a fund raiser for the Blue House Orphanage for 30 girls in Kazoo\, Uganda. \nThe Lost Forester Runs of Pine Valley run is a trail race with 2 options — 5.5K on the ski trails that run through Pine Valley’s scenic pines and hardwoods\, or 12.5 miles that run on the trails and off the trails. \nA word to the wise\, being lost means distances may vary a bit from the posted distances. \nYour participation in this race helps girls and young women grow in a safe\, caring environment\, and receive more education.
