Route: North South Trail (RI)

Robert Rives posted the route:

This cross-state trail starts in the northwest corner of RI in the Buck Hill Management Area on the Massachusetts border and travels over a variety of surfaces to the beach east of Quonochontaug. You can find info concerning this trail at the following websites: www.rigreenways.org/paths/nst-data.htm, outdoors.htmlplanet.com/nst/nst_map00.htm

The route was suggested by Jonathan Harrison and Robert Rivesare going for a thru-run as part of Runs for Relief fundraising project, attempting to raise awareness about psoriasis and secure funds for the National Psoriasis Foundation through cross-state adventure runs, of which this will be the first.

We will be supported by family during the run, who will help us in producing footage of the run and subsequent proof of our route and overall time/distance. We will post our results here and to our blog as well. Our goal is to aim for ~15 hours, but our primary concern is finishing the trail in whatever time it takes and using this as a stepping stone in our fundraising project.
