Bringing a taste of its adrenaline rushing, off-the-beaten-path trail runs, XTERRA invades the Philadelphia area with its 2008 Philly Trail Run Series. Compiled of five races, the series dares runners to leave their urban jungles and venture outdoors to compete in some of the most extreme, off-road races around.
The first four races of the series feature a mixture of unstable gravel roads, lush grass fields, and muddy dirt trails as athletes trek over 3 miles of beautiful wooded terrain. The 538-acre Warwick Park located in Pottstown, PA and the 900 acres spanning over Hibernia Park in Coatesville, PA will each host two runs held during the warm, summer Wednesday evenings.
The final event for the 2008 XTERRA Philly Series will feature the new, half-marathon distance Xduro held at Nottingham Park on July 20. Full of root-tripping, tree dodging, hill packed trails, athletes will be forced to run at peak performance levels to endure this adventure.
Not for the weak-hearted, the XTERRA 2008 Philly Trail Run Series is giving Philadelphia residents an outlet to explore the spectacular nature of their surrounding suburbs.
