October 23 is the big day for trail running in Indiana. Bring out everyone you can and introduce them to the joy of trail running!

November 20 - Mt Comfort, IN: KOA Kampground - "Steeple-Cross" & "Buddy-Cross"... a new concept for Indiana! Held before the Indy Cyclo-Cross series bike race. Measured by time, not distance; lapping a course of about 1.5 miles of trails, grass, gravel and paved road. You'll go for 30 minutes, plus a final lap. Whoever covers the most ground wins!
"Steeple-Cross" is pure running - but you'll be jumping over several barriers (~18") on the course.
"Buddy-Cross" is more interesting - two people, one bike! You must cross the lap line together each time. You figure out the plan to make it happen.
