Sexy Pace Audition Rejected 🎬🏃‍♂️😂

The Sexy Pace crew showed up at Lakeview Shelter ready to run… only to get the 🥾 thanks to movie production security. Apparently our cast of sweaty trail runners didn’t make the final cut. Undeterred, we relocated to Grant Shelter and took on the Dirt Monster Course instead. A little change of plans couldn’t stop another fun night of miles, laughs, and trail adventures.

A Hike Full of Surprises 🌎🥾🎬

What started as a beautiful day on the trails turned into a pretty memorable adventure. First, we welcomed home one half of Team Knapp, as Irna returned from the other side of the globe and joined us for the hike. Along the way, we also had a chance encounter with naturalist Adam Haritan, who stopped to chat with the group and pose for a photo. To top it all off, the crew at the movie site gave us a behind-the-scenes look at some of the props, fake moss, and other filmmaking tricks being used on location. Not bad for a day that was supposed to be just a hike!

Beat the Rain… Unfortunately 🌧️🏃‍♂️😅

The Sunday Relax Group managed to beat the rain this morning and get our miles in dry. The funny part? By the end of the run, most of us were wishing we hadn’t. With the humidity and summer temperatures settling in, that rain would have felt pretty refreshing. Still, a fun route, good conversation, and another great morning on the trails made it well worth the sweat.

Behind the Challenge 🌲🛠️

Next week is the Rachel Carson Trail Challenge. Before runners and hikers ever reach the start line, an army of volunteers has already spent countless hours clearing trails, fixing problem areas, and preparing for race day. Here are just two of the many great stewards working between Crawford Run and Baileys Run to make the Challenge possible.

When you see these volunteers, please thank them. And if you love the Rachel Carson Trail but won’t be participating next weekend, consider supporting the trail through a donation to the Rachel Carson Trails Conservancy.

Rain Cleared, Trails Called 🌲🏃‍♂️🌦️

The rain stopped just in time and the temperatures dropped enough for the Thursday night crew to enjoy some great miles along the North Ridge. Along the way, the group checked out the recently updated Beaver to Irwin Trail and got a firsthand look at the improvements made by volunteers and park staff. Cooler air, fresh trails, and good company made for a pretty perfect summer evening in North Park. Sometimes the weather actually cooperates.

Sexy Pace Weather 😅🔥🌿

The Sexy Pace runners were absolutely in their element tonight. Hot, humid, sweaty… basically the conditions nobody asks for but somehow everyone survived anyway. The trails delivered plenty of summer atmosphere, and the crew delivered plenty of laughs along the way. If you’re going to sweat, you might as well do it with friends.
