(This page updated Aug 29, 2010)

Last week we ventured very northward to grab a Churricter from Frigidtown, AK, and this week rocket in the other direction to a locale (only temporary, thankfully) where snow only appears in the dictionary.  Go read…

2011 Registration planned to open mid-Sept’ish.  Couple more infrastructure items to confirm, that bear on execution (and advertising for same), so for those of you chomping at the bit to play… go find some diversionary miles.  Gee, what surprises await the next batch of innocents?

**********

2011 Coyote Two Moon?  Yup’ers!! (unless, as noted by our Thacher host, there’s a coup on campus).  March 18-20, 2011.  Planning to open Registration by late summer / early fall.  As we’ve gained confidence in our ability to stage this lunacy with mutual benefit to runners and volunteers, our qualification requirements will open a bit, but not totally disappear.  To say, if you’re “fresh meat” to the game, your chances of getting in have improved.  Let’s call that good news as entertainment value for us…

Basic Information:  100 Mile / 100K Trail Runs.  March 18-20, 2011. 200 entrant limit (125 for 100M, 75 for 100K unless 100M doesn’t fill). Start/Finish at Thacher School, Ojai, CA.  Courses visit the trails on the Ojai ridge behind Thacher School and the town of Ojai.  Depending on whom you’ll believe, the 100M course has around 27,000 ft elevation gain; the 100K about 19,000 ft gain.

Thanks for your interest in Coyote Two Moon!!  Any questions, send them to the buffoon@coyotetwomoon.com.

What rests below and elsewhere on this site is 2010’s data (except for the Churricters & Vollinters page), roam at will (and w/ beer in hand?)…

Fri, 3/5, 11:30AM Lunch/Briefing @ Boccali’s in Ojai Strawberry Shortcake is extra, but worth the $$

* Pay By Consumption – with a couple dozen people planning to join in, we still have flexibility to order from the menu and pay accordingly.  So, bring a thirst for margaritas, but have the fat wallet to support that consumption.

**  Bring your ugliest running event T – that you’re willing to donate, not take home to win the next similar contest – and perhaps you’ll win a nifty prize without having to earn it on the trails.  Do something that suggests a talent beyond your feet’s prowess in the dirt, and win similarly extraordinary goodies!!

***  Hey, it’s only 100K/100M this weekend, why not grab even more miles?!!? Good “taper” day to either roam the beach (relatively low tide, so lots of beach to play with) or hang with the gang at Ray’s trailhead and soak up some sun and brew.
