VOLSKLAUF

Bridges: Nice light stretching for some...for others...not so much.

Volkswhat?!  Here’s Baker with some great news about one of the hardest events that I’ve ever taken part in:

Those of you who were at the Warrior Dash back in April, remember what an amazing time it was and how CPC continued to find new applications for the word ‘awesomeness’.  Well we have yet another opportunity for fun in the mud, it’s called the Volkslauf, and yes it’s as serious as its German name implies.  The Volkslauf is a 10K run through some of the most hellish obstacles former Marines could conjure up and plant in the middle of Bakersfield –  all for the sake of a good time.  Eric, Traver, A-Train and I all want a bunch of us to go down and show ‘em what a determined group of superfit individuals are capable of.  Traver and A-Train did this run a few years ago and said it was a brutal test of their mental and physical endurance, on top of being a great time.

The race is on Saturday October 2^nd and like the Warrior Dash we’re thinking about camping.  The race starts at 9:00am and is broken down into individuals and teams.  The teams, groups of four, are further broken down into all male, all female and Co-ed.  The Co-ed teams have to have at least one member of the opposite sex to qualify.  There will be food and drinks provided, all racers get lunch and two drinks with there cost of entry and additional food may be purchased or you can bring your own.  Unfortunately they don’t allow any dogs to be on the race site, except guide dogs, so either the pups have to stay home or wait in the car until you leave the race.

The deadline to register is September 20^th and the cost is $240 per team or $60 for each team member.  Like I mentioned earlier we’re strongly considering camping because it’s a 3 hour drive from here to Bakersfield and with a 9:00am start time we want to be there early.  If your interested let us know as soon as possible so we can arrange for camp sites and get teams together.  Here is the link to register for the race, http://www.volkslauf.com/, all registering must be done online at this site, there will be no registration on the day of the race so if you miss this your out of luck.  Who’s in?!
