The Fog Dodgers invite all residents and visitors of the Mendocino Coast to join us on our weekly group runs and walks. We have runners and walkers of all abilities (and even some bikers) and we have only one "rule" - we start at exactly 8:00 a.m. on Sundays. Exercise at your own pace (1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back) and experience the fresh Mendocino coastal air.

Fog Dodgers provides a fun, safe way to explore some of our local trails and back roads and to meet new friends. You can find out where we're going to be by reading the bottom of last week's post, then clicking on the "Our Routes" tab above. We average 15-20 persons each Sunday and typically half will go to breakfast together afterwards at a nearby restaurant.

WARD AVENUE

It was just right this morning for running and walking along the shore.  We met at Ward Avenue under mostly cloudy but warm (56 degree) skies.  The fog came and went while we were doing our thing and offered interesting views.  Thanks to John Loomis for this morning's photos, all taken just before we met.

It was nice to have Sara (it's been an hour since I asked her whether there's an "h" on the end or not and of course, I've forgotten her reply.  I'm going with no 'h' and she did say it didn't really matter) back with us.  Also present:  Susan, Bruce, Fran, Gay, Mark, Nancy T., Roger, Nancy B., Rick, Toni, Joe, Charlene, Ron, Joel, John, Shari, Peter, Nancy and Tom (20).

Yesterday, the Noyo Headlands 5K and 10K Races took place.  It's a small race but it was a good opportunity to see the south half of the new Coastal Trail.  Though small, it was an accurate course and fairly flat.  Fog Dodgers did really well.  Earning First Place in their divisions were;  Janis (10K), John, Tabi, Nancy and Tom (all 5K).  Marc was First Place overall in the Race Walk!  Also in the 5K, Chandra got Second Place and Lisa a Third Place!
