ROCKY PEAK - SADDLERIDGE FIRE UPDATE
October 12, 2019
The Rocky Peak on October 19, the race is still on. The situation today has improved over yesterday. Winds are now "*5-10mph or calmer" and the fire was 19% contained at 9am today. Air quality is presently affecting Simi Valley however "*this afternoon, winds will do an about-face and push smoke the opposite way" said meteorologist *Ryan Kittell of the National Weather Service. We at Trail Run Events are optomistic for October 19 and are continuing to prepare for you. Having ourselves been evacuated from Calabasas in November 2018 due to the Woolsey Fire, our hearts and prayers go out to those affected by the California fires including residents, fire fighters, law enforcement and even critters who live in our beloved mountains

The Bulldog Trail Runs - Since 1992
After 17 years, Ultra Mama Nancy is passing the Bulldog Bullhorn!
Larry and Nancy will be hosting their last Bulldog Trail Runs on August 25, 2018! It was serendipity that Daniel Weissauer agreed to take over the race and work beside us this year to make a smooth transition. Daniel just resurrected the old Tough Topanga 10k in June to huge success so we are confident to be leaving the Bulldog in the most capable hands.
We hope to see you on August 25, to give us your Bulldog Blessings by running, volunteering or coming by to say hello and meet the New RD!
Happy trails,
NSD
