Skyline Trail - Beavers Bend (OK)

Description

The Skyline trail in the Beavers Bend State Park is a tougher trail option; the last mile is ran on the park road to make it a complete loop. It's a beautiful but challenging trail, very rocky with some steep hills. I ran this after a night of storming, so i expect my time to be crushed.  I wanted to set a fkt on this trail so other runners visiting the park can experience this great trail and push the limit on time. My watch might be off a tad on mileage, I thought the trail was closer to 9 miles for the complete loop.

Episode 89: Bart Vandewoestyne - Report from Belgium (a different style than US!)

Category
Person-Person

Listen to me horribly mispronounce Bart's name, his kind correction, and then Bart explain the situation in Belgium:

"Starting today, we have entered the 'Exit Strategy' in Belgium - groups of 20 can go for a run - but no competitions until at least 7/31."

Western Europe has a VERY organized trail running scene - routes not only have their own webpages, but are all are clearly marked and identified.  Bart explains the difference between "GR" routes, and the new "Extra Trail" designation.
