  • I decided to volunteer to be a trail sweeper for the Iron Furnace Trail Runs held at Lake Hope State Park in Zaleski State Forest on April 6, 2024. Two new course records were set; Josh Park on the men's side and Jenny Brewer for the women. It was a beautiful day for a trail race and glad I had the opportunity to volunteer for the SEOTR (South Eastern Ohio Trail Runners).

    I’m glad to realized you weren’t going to have to follow the folks on a 13 mile nature hike. Jason wants to RUN

    Great job volunteering Jason! Bet it felt good to be on that side of an event and still be able to get out but not have to beat yourself up :)
    Amazing both men’s and women’s records got beat with the trail conditions on top of it.

      Yes it was very nice not killing myself during a race for a change lol. However, two weeks later I ran the Sheltowee 50k down in Morehead and it was awful!!! It hurt so bad that I might even be giving up running and just do more backpacking haha

      @@jasonwish- I had to give up trail running because I was worried it would get to the point I couldn’t hike anymore. My will misses it but my knees don’t lol

      I just looked up this race, it sounds similar to the Firefly 12 hour over night endurance run that I did a few years ago. I only got 40 miles in but it was certainly a memorable experience!

      Wow, upon further investigation, that Stone Anvil is one huge race!!

    Nice to see that you your little volunteer
    But I have a question
    As a coarse sweeper you're supposed to pick up the flags as you go by correct
    The question is why were you leaving so many behind you
    Again just a curious question
    And did you go back to pick them up
    Another awesome little video by the way

      The first two miles was repeated at the end as the runners came back so those course markings were picked up at the very end. Thanks CG!
