The highly anticipated Wildwood Trail bridge over Burnside is starting Monday and won't be done until the fall. Don't fret, we found an alternative using Fischer Ln. and a connector trail for those still wanting to do a Wildwood E2E in Forest Park.

If you don't know about Tabatha Collins, you haven't been at any utra trail races in 2019. Sometimes those who inspire us also need some inspiration, and who better to inspire than Moe Codino? Check out Tabatha's cause on the Break the Record. Break the Stigma page as she sets the Guinness Book of World Records for most ultras in a year.

Break the Record. Break the Stigma.
I was not anticipating so many things that have happened this year; one was all the phenomenal people I would encounter. I met Moe at an aid station he was manning at Stumptown 50k when I asked to get some peanut butter on my Oreo. He has been a source of positivity ever since. I’ve seen him at many aid stations and a few start lines. He’s much faster than me but always makes a point to send positive vibes my way. He is the epitomy of what trail running is all about and I stumbled upon this video of him from a few years back. He’s been supporting my “cause” long before I knew I even had one. Thank you Moe!

To Pole or Not to Pole, That is the Question
In 2018 I got my butt handed to me at the UTE 100 trail race in the LaSal mountains of Utah. I did a lot of climbing in my training, but nothing can compare to trying to climb 19,000 feet in one push. Shortly after the DNF, I invested in a pair of trekking

Looking at a "runcation" in the near future and want to figure out transportation and lodging? Why not combine them both with Wonderland Expeditions? Matthew reviews how the Bandit fared on the OR PCT FKT last month. https://nwdirtchurners.com/wonderland-expeditions-bandit-review/

Wonderland Expeditions Bandit Review
    As the planning for the Oregon Pacific Crest Trail Fastest Known Time attempt transitioned into a discussion over transport, the realization that our Subaru Outback might be insufficient became clear.
