Sunday, October 10, 1999 - Monday, October 11, 1999 -- Shepherdstown
3rd Annual WVOutside C&O Canal Fun Run
This is a completely unofficial event with no race officials, no sponsors, no entry forms, no fees, no awards, and no lawyers. We will attempt to trek non-stop from just outside Cumberland, MD, (Spring Gap) to Shepherdstown, WV. It is by no means a race and it is simply a bunch of crazed individuals who think the whole idea is great fun. We rely on ourselves and the support of a few friends who graciously chip in to help out along the way.
We will be posting more details on how the event went last year (let's just say that the course record has yet to be set) and maybe a few more details. If you may be interested in joining in, the folks already involved will be happy to share some support, then drop us a note at info@iPlayOutside.com.
See what happened the 1st time we tried to do this at 1997 C&O Canal Run!
