• TRIENNIAL XIV, August 28, 2021.

    • General information

    1. TRIENNIAL XIV is an informal participation event, not sponsored by any individual or organization. It is only for well-conditioned, experienced trail runners. Fitness of the runner to finish their section (physical condition and trail racing experience) is the responsibility of the team captain, organizers take no responsibility. Teams support themselves, the organizers provide no search and rescue, no first aid, no water.

    2. TRIENNIAL XIV, August 28, 2021, at Veterans Memorial Park. The "course" will consist of seven sections, shortest 6.3 miles, longest 14.8 miles.
      1. EAST 1: Veterans Memorial Park to Radio Tower Road (9.9)
      2. EAST 2: Radio Tower Road to Treman Old Mill (9.0)
      3. EAST 3: Treman Old Mill to Radio Tower Road (9.0)
      4. EAST 4: Radio Tower Rd to Veterans Memorial Park (9.9)
      5. WEST 1: Veterans Memorial Park to Burdett Twin Tunnels (14.8)
      6. WEST 2: Burdett Twin Tunnels to Texas Hollow Road (8.5)
      7. WEST 3: Texas Hollow Rd to Veterans Memorial Park (6.3)

    3. TRIENNIAL XIV will be a true relay, team members will be required to pass a "baton". Each team will be self supported; there are no aid stations or event officials. The entire relay will depend upon the HONESTY and INTEGRITY of each team to complete the event course as defined.

    4. TRIENNIAL XIV teams will consist of seven people. Please submit detail with roster information.

    5. TRIENNIAL XIV team roster should be submitted to Karen Ingall of Team Mighty Isis. Team Roster should include:
      1. Team Name
      2. Name of each runner
      3. Age/Gender of each on event date
      4. Section(s) each is running
      5. There are no entry fees. Your team and your supporters, should you be so fortunate as to have any, are welcome to BYO food and drink to enjoy after the event, assuming you are still able to enjoy imbibing anything after you finish your leg. If you are, perhaps you should have put more effort into it.

    6. TRIENNIAL XIV will consist of "head start times" calculated by the age/gender of each runner. The calculated head start for each runner will be totaled together and your team will receive a TOTAL HEAD START at which time two runners will begin from Veterans Memorial Park. (If your team is both young and male, this will most likely require you to try to catch teams already running.) Logistically, all teams should finish close together just in time for lunch.

    7. TRIENNIAL XIV teams of seven runners will all arrive at Veterans Memorial Park before their calculated team start time. Each team will start TWO runners (East #1 and West #1) at the same time. Both will need to pass a "baton" to their next team member.

    8. TRIENNIAL XIV winners will earn bragging rights when ALL 7 team members have finished.
      1. BONUS Poker Run: Each team is welcome to place $1 per runner in a pot before starting. Each runner will collect a playing card when they finish running. Team with the highest poker hand wins the pot.

      Thank you all for coming, I think fun was had by all, and my only complaint was not getting to see everyone finish. Tune in for Triennial XV, please share your feedback in regard to holding it on 8/23/23 so we can save the date. I have highlighted the fastest raw time from all of our action figures below, Team NETT had multiple speedy performances on their team, while Bottom Feeders nabbed a few and Gabriella of Sam’s Club grabbed another. Unfortunately I did not have data on the Trail by Fire team except for total finish as only a few of them wore a watch. Please feel free to share some ideas for 2023, I have some tricks up my sleeve already, but I would love some feedback We are hoping to add a list serve to the Triennial web site so we can get folks involved and notified as the date approaches. Be sure to check out the awards beneath the spreadsheet data, I have done my best at coming up with some shiny new awards this year.

      One team made their own official “batons”:

      If anyone has more photos to share, we would love to use them for the web site archives.

      Thank you again everyone, I enjoyed seeing you all. I look forward to doing it again.
