August 29 – 8 am, from Guilford Lakes School, Guilford to Race Hill Rd and back. Distance 8 miles. This run is dog friendly.

September 19 – 8 am from the Monastery, Race Hill Rd, Guilford to the Mattabasset connector and back. On the return, instead of retracing the same trail we shall use the New England Scenice Trail. Distance 10 miles (RWA Recreation passes required). No dogs, please.

October 10 – 8 am from Renee Way trail head, Madison. A loop on the Mattabasset, Lone Pine and Rockland trails (including Bluff Head). Distance 13 miles. This run is dog friendly.

No fee and no registration is required. Bring your own hydration. If you do not have a RWA pass, there may be guest passes available on a first come first serve basis, so it might pay to ask in advance – jerry(at)mrbimble(dot)com . Please do not do the September run if you do not have a pass.

No rain dates! :-)

If you have questions regarding the bites, you may send them via our email contact form.

The 4th Bimbler’s Bash is scheduled to take place on Sunday April 11th, 2010 and run through Westwoods, Guilford. Registration is now open via mail or on-line at Active.com. This race is a 10k event but runners should be aware that “… at the end it isn’t over …”

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
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! Please do not bring dogs and expect them to run with you, sections of the course are too narrow. There will not be a rain date. If it is raining, expect to get wet like the rest of us!

All preregistered entries will receive a race shirt, we will attempt to have some available for race day entrants but sizes and availability will be limited. Registration will be capped at 250 entries and will close early if this number is reached before race day.

Snacks and drinks will be provided after the race and there will be one aid station on the course offering drinks.

The course will be marked with brightly colored tape and direction markers, a map of the route can be viewed here (pdf format)

Start: 9:00 am

Venue: Cox School, Three Corners Rd, Guilford

How to Register:

All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Guilford Land Conservation Trust

Note: There is a print link embedded within this post, please visit this post to print it.

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!

What is the inspiration for the slogan? I guess you can’t get enough of a good thing!
