Who's ready to get some Turkey Creek??? Today's run will be a counterclockwise route beginning at the Harrison Entrance parking lot and heading down Reedy Creek Lake Trail. From there we'll turn right onto Reedy Creek and take that to the end where we pick up S. Turkey Creek then N. Turkey Creek. When we hit Graylyn we'll go right until we hit the graveyard, then turn and head back down Graylyn to Reedy Creek back home with the final treat being that painful hill on Reedy Creek Lake, finally finishing back in the parking lot. I will try to be there by around 4:50 and we will head out to the trail at 5:00. So come on out for a hilly afternoon run at Umstead.

TODAY'S RUN WILL BE ~10 MILES AT ~9mm pace.

The route today will start at the Reedy Creek Entrance where Harrison ends, we'll run to Reedy Creek Lake, then right on Old Reedy Creek, left on S. Turkey Creek merge with N. Turkey Creek, right on Graylyn for about 1/4 mile, then back down to a left on Old Reedy Creek, then a right back up Reedy Creek Lake back to parking lot.

NOTE: On the rare occasion my schedule can get turned upside down and I may be unable to make the start time or perhaps even be able to run at all, so PLEASE be sure to check the posting an hour before start time. If in doubt you can always call my cell.

Where: Main Reedy Creek entrance in Cary - Harrison Road. Meet in the parking lot by the restrooms/water fountain.
Organizer: John Williamson
Cell: [masked]
Start Time: 5:00 PM

    Karly it's pretty easy to find as long as you can locate I-40W heading out of Raleigh. Just take the Harrison exit and turn right at the top of the off-ramp. It runs straight into Umstead and we'll be in the parking lot. If you're coming from Durham it would be I-40E instead and you would turn left at the top of the off-ramp. If you have any problems, feel free to call my cell above. Hope to see you there.
