The 6th Bimbler’s Bash is scheduled to take place on Sunday April 1st, 2012 and run through Westwoods, Guilford  and all proceeds from the event are donated to the Guilford Land Conservation Trust. This race is promoted as a 10k event but rumors are abound that the course might be a tad longer. On race day remember as you near the finish this is an event, “… where soul meets sole …”!

Date and time: April 1, 2012 @ 9:00 am

Location: Cox School, 143 Three Mile Course, Guilford CT

Registration: Register on-line via Active.com or via Mail-in Application

Race entries will be limited to 250. Depending on how many advance entries received, race day registrations may be limited. Please check the web site for details on registrations as they are received. The race will be sanctioned by the USA Track and Field Association.

The Race

The Bimblers Bash 10k is an entirely off-road loop within Westwoods, Guilford made up from a series of interconnecting single track hiking trails. You should expect to negotiate lots of rocks, roots and possibly get your feet wet, plus with two rock scrambles be prepared for an adventure! This is a true trail race and the technical nature of the terrain will mean that you will be exposed to the risk of injury. While every reasonable effort will be made to ensure your safety and enjoyment, all participants must be prepared to accept full responsibility for these risks.

The Bash course is rumored to be longer than the advertised distance, is this true? Maybe,  there are 10k’s and then there is the Bash!

A map and description of the course can be found here

The occasion was the fifth Bimblers Bash, allegedly 10 kilometers of technical single track trails through preserved woodland, but those in the know will tell you it might be a little longer. In just five years the event has doubled in size, in the grand scheme of things it isn’t a huge race, but with a field of just over 200 runners it is able to host a friendly intimate atmosphere while at the same time provide a competitive and challenging race.

The winner flew the course in well under an hour while the last runners to cross the line took a little over 2. In between there were smiles, the excitement a few bumps, grazes and a cut had that might have required a stitch or two. Hopefully one or two of those who took part will share their stories, thoughts or comments for others to read. The full results can be found here and see pictures here.

Once it was over and the finish line taken down, Westwoods returned to its normal peaceful existence. It is preserved by the Guilford Land Conservation Trust and maintained by their volunteer group, the Westwoods Trails Committee. Proceeds from the race go to the trust. To them, all the runners, race volunteers (there was over 20 of them) and KC’s Pub for their hot soup, thank you for making the Bash a success once again. See you all next year.

Footnote: if you think the course was a tad short there is always the Bimbler’s Bluff 50k. This year’s race will be on October 23rd, 2011, come on you know it makes sense – trust me!

The Race
The race course is an entirely off-road loop within Westwoods, Guilford made up from a series of interconnecting single track hiking trails. You should expect to negotiate lots of rocks, roots and possibly get your feet wet, plus with two rock scrambles be prepared for an adventure!

There shall be 2 pre-race day training runs, on February 14th and March 14th at 8:00 am starting from the Dunk Rock Rd trail head. Participation is free and pre-registration is not required. Anyone needing directions should email me at: jerry(at)mrbimble(dot)com.

PS. No rains dates – there is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing! Parking at the trail head is limited, please car pool if you can.

This year as well as the event itself we propose to hold a Trails Day on Sunday March 14th after the second Bite of the Bash, and hope that as many runners as possible will contribute a few hours of their time to help with this project.

The Trust is in the process of opening up a new trail into Westwoods from the sports field of Cox School and the race will use this as an alternative to crossing Bishop’s field as in previous years. The Trails Day project will aim to clear brush from one section of the new trail to open access and provide a view across a neighboring horse paddock. The clearance work is generally light work involving hand sawing and pruning, volunteers will just need to be dressed accordingly and wear gloves.

The meeting place will be at the entrance of Cox School on Three Mile Course, Guilford, near the red barn at 10:00 am. The the weather is really bad, details regarding postponement will be posted on this web site. No prior registration is necessary, but an advance indication of numbers participating would be helpful via: jerry(at)mrbimble(dot)com.

Hope to see you there!
