Hello Common Rush Trail Runners,
Wow — what a day! SO MUCH FUN was had this past Saturday at the 4th Annual Common Rush Trail Run as you and nearly 250 fellow trail runners braved the mid-summer heat and were rewarded with one heck of a good time — beautiful lakeside single-track, flowy double-track, scenic open meadows, a festive post-race party, and most of all, incredible camaraderie.
Huge congrats on accepting the challenge — we hope you had a fantastic morning on the trails!
