How cool is this! The Silver State Striders are going to be running The Bacon Strip! And they know it’s called The Bacon Strip! Some of you may not know this but our very own Sphincterboy used to run this race back in the day and I believe he even won it one year! The below is an excerpt from a note sent to Dale of the Poedunks:

Just an FYI on a future event taking place on Peavine (using trails you guys have worked hard on!); the Silver State Striders will be hosting the Silver State 50 mile trail run on Peavine, May 17th (www.silverstatestriders.com). The finish of the race (last 10 miles of so) will use “the bacon strip” trail all the way down to the new stuff that we worked on at the end of 2007. I’m letting you know just in case you may be able to get the word out to other users of this trail that they may see course markings showing up out there and to kindly not remove them! Hate to have some tired runner not from around here getting lost up there!
