In a few short week, we will be on our way to this super cool event. The National Park Service decided to marry two of our favorite things together: Running and paddling. And it's a race to the finish.
We are gathering our camping and paddling gear. And we are bring some shirts and other goodies with us. So in case you want a Paddle Arkansas shirt to commemorate your race, we will have them. Plus, we can't wait to talk all things paddling and running with you. I've ran many races in my day, while Brad has paddle more rivers than me. So between the two of us, we should be able to answer your questions.
And rumor has it, we will get an opportunity to take our boats out on my favorite river. The Buffalo River in the fall is mighty fine. Brad and I can't wait to see some fall foliage. Any excuse to be outside in October is fine by us.
So pack your bags and head to the Ozarks. Even if you don't run the race, you can still get out and paddle. Or just come hang out with us.
Good luck to everyone in the Biathlon and Trial Run.
Happy Paddling,
Ashten
