Clarksburg HS Student Wins Second Annual Blue Crab Bolt 10K Trail Race

Over 200 runners finished the challenging, second annual Blue Crab Bolt 10K trail race held on a recent Saturday morning in Little Bennett. Thankfully, the generally cloudy morning and 8 a.m. start helped keep temperatures in the comfortable range for most racers — though the 6+ mile circuit course featured several sweat-inducing ridge-valley-ridge segments as veteran LBRP trail users might anticipate.

Organized by EX2 Adventures, the race staging area was in the Prescott horsetrailer parking lot. The first leg of the course was on Pine Grove trail and from there the racers traveled down Timber Ridge and several other trails until finally — after nearly six rigorous miles — they reached Dark Branch trail with its steep 100 foot, 45 degree incline.

To get a glimpse of the race, you can see many photos on the race photographer's website at swimbikerunphoto.zenfolio.com/blue_crab_bolt_little_bennett_2010. The race results are posted on EX2 Adventure's website/
