I'm excited about running the Afton 25K on July 3rd. It will be my 3rd time in that race - 25K in 2007, 50K in 2008. Missed it last year due to family obligations. I chose the 25K this year. This was mostly because I run best in races 25K or shorter. Also, I'm running a bunch of trails one week from Afton....
The weekend after Afton, July 10-11, I'll be in the UP of Michigan to run what I think will be a nice trail series. Saturday there will be a ~6K hill climb run in the morning followed by a 12K trail run in the late afternoon. Sunday morning is a 25K trail run. This is the Run the Keweenaw series in Copper Harbor, MI. I ran only one of the races last year (10K then) and loved it. I'll be spending about a week in the area and am looking forward to some peace and quiet and a few 4-6 mile easy runs sandwiched between the Afton and Keweenaw races.
For 2011, I hope to do the races above again. In addition, since Helen said the Bighorn Trail Run was "BEAUTIFUL", I've been reading about that event and looking at pics. I want to enter Bighorn next year at the 50K or 50M distance. Whether I finish, or DNF, I'm expecting it would be an event to remember.

Mark, sounds like a great couple of weeks – have fun! BTW, there’s a nice little trail series in MN in August – the VoyageurQuest. :) I have Big Horn on my brain for next year too…
VoyagerQuest looks like a beast! If I said I was getting a colonoscopy the morning of VQ Day 1, is that a good enough excuse to skip it? I know....... TMI, but it's true.
You guys would LOVE bighorn - do it!!
It is a pretty good excuse Mark!
I dunno, if it was me I'd go the other way: I'd use VoyageurQuest as an excuse to postpone the procedure! :)
