Dusty Bottoms Trail Runners

Get your aprons on and start your baking! This Thursday is DB’s annual cookie exchange. Bring a batch of your favorite and share with the group. Bring cookies, leave with cookies! It’s that simple…..please bring your own container to take cookies home.

Also, we will be judging (harshly!!) the best ugly sweater and the best onesie of the evening. People, this is your chance to go over the top….the “Costco special” ugly Christmas sweater just won’t cut it.

Looking forward to a great time! See you there….

Fresh off another marathon PR at CIM is our December Runner of the Month! Congratulations to Steve O’Conner!!

Just a quick glimpse at the fun that was had at the Dusty Bottoms 10th Annual Beer Mile. ultra heat was full of beer, vomit, and a few that conquered the challenge. The regular heats went on throughout the late morning and early afternoon….again, lot of beer, some vomit, but a great time had by all, participants and spectators. If you haven’t done it, next year is your year!

DB is headed back to on Saturday, September 23rd. Plan on arriving at 8am, first game starts at 8:30am with 2 games to follow lasting until about noon. Come for one or stay for all three! Let’s spread some joy to these young folks who play their hearts out!!

It’s Beer Mile Eve!!! Be there by 9:30am to pick up your bib, pick your spot, and get ready for the fun. Ultra heat starts at 10am, regular heats at 10:30am. Be on course on time or you may miss your chance to claim the glory!!

There once was a club that loved mudding,
But once a year they switched to chugging,
The beers, there will be lots,
Folks’ stomachs in knots,
And their ice chests they’ll be dragging and lugging. 🍻🍻

DB is at Fuzio’s tomorrow at 6:30pm to celebrate Beer Mile Eve Eve. Get a run or walk in, then head back to the Firecracker Room to do a little pre-gaming before Saturday’s 10th annual beer mile. 🍺🍻

If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time! 🍻🍻
