Guys haven't heard from original poster of this thread. If we can get a head count by this Sunday night and he hasn't posted a route or replied, I can suggest one and we go running.

Some awesome switchbacks with camber for the turns on the way up to Three Sisters Mountain. Pit stop at the hikers rest stop for restroom and regroup. From there we continue down to HWY 180 and go thru a portion of Bloodmountain. Suggest to go easy thru the first pass on Bloodmountain.

If you are game or others find this suitable, let's make this the official route.
Thanks

by the way, my sig pic is on Bloodmountain from this February.

Sorry for the late reply!


We will be stopping close to the mountains to fill up on gas!

We have a route, and is somewhat similiar to what you have posted. Spread the word people, this should be a really fun Mountain run!

If you have any questions, send me a message and I will give you my phone number!
