Welcome to our obsessively published newsletter.
Cinco de Mayo 5k
The less than perfect weather conditions did nothing to diminish the spirits of the Cinco de Mayo 5k and the joyful exuberance of the 265 partipants at The Colby School.

Age groups were filled with happy runners and walkers as participants slogged through the extremely beautiful and well maintained McLeod Creek Trail.

Winners Michael Barrile (20:39) and Kelly Milligan 20:53.4 led the pack and despite the snow and cool temps the rest of the field was almost all smiles as they crossed the finish line at The lovely Colby School. Cheerful volunteers from The Colby School and Mountain Trails Foundation were greatly appreciated as were sponsors The Colby School, Zions Resort Bank, JANS and White Pine Touring, Alpine Signs, Clif Bars and Utah Beer .
It was a sea of sombreros at the finish line which helped keep the snow out of eyes!

Pick up the latest edition of Rodale's Mountain Bike Magazine and peruse this
article by Andrew Vontz. Andrew came to Park City last September as
a guest of Mountain Traills and Park City Chamber/Bureau.
Though it was another snow incident during Tour des Suds, Andrew did get to spend two days with local riders and this article is the results of the visit.
