Nichols Oil Slick Run

Well, it’s winter, and that means that once again, it’s time to begin our series of fun races. Maybe you remember them from last year. Any non-motorized form of transport is allowed. If you have dogs helping to pull you along the trail, you get a time penalty, but for every drink (alcoholic) you have on the trail, you get a bonus. Our first race was along the oil pipeline and was an out and back seven miles long. I am super slow on cross-country skis and was just trying to finish before it got too dark to see the trail, which thankfully I did.


The funny thing is that this all started out as a few people having a good time, but apparently word has spread about how fun it is because we had 33 people show up for the pipeline race! 33! It was hard to find a place to park.


After the race there is always a pot luck, prizes for the winners, and good times for all. For more pictures from our race series, you can check out our web site www.racehardplayhard.com.
