McNaughton 2011

The list is getting longer for the 2011 McNaughton 200 miler. No takers from Central Illinois, you all chicken???? Grin

Ryan Dexter is signed up again too, so far 12 included Mike Matteson from Carbondale IL. 200 miles is a TON of fun you should give it a shot, and no more beautiful of a place than the Green Mountains in Vermont (they even still have dinosaurs roaming the woods out there).

no...you're incorrect....there is ONE taker from central IL....but really, he's not right in the head and we all worry about him

I saw Jim Cooks name on the list and got excited for a split second thinking that our Jack Cook was signed up!

I'll wait till i have a few 100's completed before I think of 200

Yes, pretty cool, I did see that Mike Matteson is signed up but technically he is from Southern Illinois.

Andy does have a 150 mile option and then also a 100 mile fun run and then a 30 mile "mini" I think I may have my wife talked into going this year and running the 30 mile and then my 13 year old son Elijah also running the 30 mile. That would actually give me 60 miles of pacers this time, maybe then they can fight off the dinosaurs for me.

you're looking at the wrong McNaughton

the local race is a 50/100

the guy who founded the local race at McNaughton park moved to VT and decided that since he put so much work into building the McN park race he was going to take the name with him.....so he started a race by the same name in VT.

so now, out of professional courtesy the people who RD the local race renamed it tot he Pottawatomie Trail run......even though its still at McNaughton park

confused yet?

potawatomi (keepers of the fire)=folks that used to hang out in the woods before folks like us were around to run trails where they used to hang out.

see: mississippian culture, illiniwek, sauk, fox, kickapoo see also: black hawk war of 1832/battle (massacre) of bad axe

evolution of mcN park race distances: 50, 50k/50, 10/30/50/100, 30/50/100, 50/100/150, 50/100. no idea what rich will do in the future, but the last time i spoke with him he was happy with the current configuration.

You could always pace someone for 10 or 30 miles in the spring though.
