So this sounds like a pretty wacky local race… the “5K Mountain Goat Scramble” takes place this Saturday, October 8, 2011, at our local Granite Gorge Ski Area in Roxbury, NH (just outside of Keene).

It’s a 5K race where you run up to the halfway point of the ski trails and then back down … and DO THAT FOUR TIMES!

I have skied all the trails where the race is running and know the exact route they are doing… it’s going to be tough to run that loop four times!

I’m not sure exactly what our plans are for the weekend and so I don’t know whether I’ll be running it myself, but it does benefit an excellent cause, the creation of a new Children’s Museum here in Keene, so I do hope they get a good turnout.

Registration is open and you save $5 if you register by Tuesday, Oct 4th.

Here’s the trail map for those who are curious:
