Final Update

Runners,

Here we are at race week! I think I have gone over most everything in previous updates, so I will keep this one short with a simple reminder of this weekend's schedule. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call or email me day or night (I will probably be up putting the finishing touches on awards, stuffing goodie bags, and devising ways to dump more rock and cactus spines on the trail).

Race directions: http://www.maricopa.gov/parks/mcdowell/Directions.aspx
When you get to the town of Fountain Hills, follow signs for McDowell Mountain Park. I will also be placing a few Javelina Jundred signs along the route if you are coming from highway 87 from Phoenix. The first sign will be right before the turnoff to Shea Blvd. After turning left on to Shea, Saguaro should be the next light. Turn right, following Saguaro for several winding miles until it ends at Fountain Hills Blvd. Turn right and follow 4 miles to the park entrance. The Pemberton Trailhead is a 5 to 10 minute drive once you are in the park.

Forward the following two links on to family and friends:
