Iceman Series 4 -15K & 5m - Jan 25th 9am - The Brickhouse Bar and Grill

The 4th run in the Iceman Series is Saturday Jan 25th at 9am. Starting and ending at the Brickhouse Grill & Pub on Iles at Koke Mill  (3136 W Iles Ave, Springfield, IL 62704 Phone:(217) 546-2745).  

We have a great route that includes a 1/2 mile trail run through the Lewis Memorial Acres Trail and a 5 mile out and back on the Sangamon Valley Trail.  The Snowman route follows the Iceman route through mile 3 and then heads back towards the finish.  The Iceman Route goes all the way down to Centennial Park hill then turns back.  Maps below show the way.  Maps and written directions will be available on Saturday morning.

The trail section is marked already with orange safety tape if anyone wants to "check it out".  It was sloppy in parts when I marked it on Sunday but with the forecast being in the mid-twenties for Saturday it should be solid to run on.  This trail has lots of turns and rolling terrain and will add an interesting twist to the run.  When you come out on the west end of the trail watch out for the fence wire that is mashed down to allow us to get out of the woods.  

There will be a Course Marshall on the trail Saturday morning. Seth Perlman who frequents the woods often with his dogs is going to be out there for us.  

As before you'll receive a $5 coupon for food and drink at the Bar and Grill and we'll have a new commemorative mug (really I will :-)

I'll have extra Iceman Sweatshirts for $20 and long sleeve t-shirts for $12 if you are interested.

See you Saturday,

Bill
