Saturday, September 10th was a warm and sunny day in Flagstaff, AZ, perfect for enjoying the open woods and historic telescopes on a new map at Lowell Observatory. There were two courses to run. A 1.9k sprint, with 30m of climb, that toured the history and structures of the Lowell Campus, and a 5.1k classic course, with 80m of climb, that explored the surrounding ponderosa pine forest. Twenty-one people, including a group of Boy Scouts, took part in the forest course, and 14 took part in the sprint. Additionally, 10 people took the beginers clinic, taught by Ron Birks and Kevin Adams.
