Surf City Gets Ready to Kick Off!
Surf City Gets Ready to Kick Off!
Come join us for the first race of the Surf City series at Aptos High School this Sunday. Aptos High has undergone some renovations, so the course will be slightly different than in year's past. Most likely remaining will the infamous forest "3 steps forward, 2 steps back" run up and the short stairs by the start finish. Aptos High features some significant elevation changes, so however the course turns out, you can expect it to be a toughie.
And, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Surf City, we are holding a special jungle cross course race at 11:45. If you long for those wacky Bob Liebold style features of old, this is your chance to race them again. This event is only $5 and will be sponsored by Gizdich Ranch, makers of those yummy juices and amazing pies. Pies will be given to the winners of the event (we reserve the right to determine what a "winner" is) and Gizdich Ranch juices will be available for all competitors. If you are fairly new to cross, then consider yourself lucky (or unfortunate if you are highly sadistic) that you missed out on the Jungle Cross days. Here's a great article on the madness that was jungle cross:
