If one could run without getting tired I don't think one would often want to do anything else. -C.S. Lewis

The Big Schloss 50K Oh, my friends, it's been so long since I've posted! I've missed you all.

I'm now the Race Director of The Big Schloss 50K. Turns out when you love a race very much, you quit running it in order to share that gift with others.

This will be my sixth year as race director. Amy and Steve Platt created this gem of a course in 2003. They put it on through 2009, and then the realities of raising three young children crept in and it went on hiatus. Fellow VHTRC members Sean Andrish, Brian Schmidt and I revived it in 2014 as an official VHTRC event.


An early version of The Big Schloss 50K featured hula hoops. Pictured are me and Karen Krieg.
I like to characterize this race as the love child of a ménage à troisbetween the Wild Oak Trail, the Massanutten Mountains and Shenandoah National Park. It's got everything; lush, grassysections, gorgeous moss, occasional misty weather, plenty of rocks andtechnical trail, incredible views, big climbs, long downhills to bomb and even a little bit of fireroad.
I'll add more to this as I think of things I've forgotten. For now, it will serve as a brief history and a place to find trail maps, directions,turn sheets, pocket reference, etc.

Have you run The Big Schloss 50K or hiked the trails of Great North Mountain? Please share your experiences on this place in the comments!
