Hunt has just completed the tedious task of translating the chicken scratch of delirious runners, on sheets smudged by sweat droplets and dawg drool, and has compiled a best stab at the self-reported results from the January 2013 PHUNT runs at Fair Hill, MD.
Please keep in mind that these are the results written down by the runners themselves and not verified by any type of chip timing (corn, potato, or otherwise). Many may be fictional, some may reflect a day lost wandering random trails more or less than the specified distance, and a tiny minority may be accurate times from the full and actual course.
So, don't take these too seriously. Above all, we hope all runners had a blast running around in the woods!

- WHO: Anybody who likes to run lots and lots of trails, interspersed with a little history
- WHAT: Join the Friends of Pa White Clay Preserve on a ½ Marathon trail run at Pa’s scenic White Clay Preserve with 4.5 and 8 mile shorter options. The course is a loop with an added loop to the TRI STATE Marker where Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware meet making it feasible to run in three states.
- WHEN: Saturday, May 18, 2013. Orientation at 7:45 AM ; race start at 8:00.
- WHERE: Start/finish is at the PA White Clay Preserve Office parking lot, at the intersections of London Tract, Sharpless and Southbank Roads in London Britain Township, several miles north of Newark, DE.
- WHY: Because if you're reading this, you're the sort of person who will truly enjoy a unique nature jaunt. The course is a loop with two cut-offs for lite versions of the run, and is mostly hilly single-track trail with one moderate stream crossings, and just a teensy bit of gnarly stuff to satisfy the trail-running purist. Its roughly measured the but it's 90% trail with something like 1600 ft. of aggregate vertical climb and has some great views including the Federally designated “Wild & Scenic Stream” of White Clay. This run is meant for moderately experienced trail runners, but anyone who wants to try and promises not to whine if they get tired and dirty is welcome. We will have snack/water refill stations. The course will be marked by tape, flags, spray chalk or some creative combination of the three. We hope to have maps and course instructions.
- COST: We're collecting $0, zero, zip, nada. . Additional donations to defray costs will be graciously accepted, with leftover monies donated to the non-profit PA White Clay Friends. All participants are encouraged to bring 1 gallon of water for aid stations or the post race festivities.

PHUNT 2013 Update
Here is an update on the 2013 edition of the TrailDawgs' dead-of-winter day of multimiled craziness, the PHUNT 50K Trail Run.
Parking: Parking space will be very tight for the numbers signed up. Please, please car pool as much as possible to help!
- Date: Saturday January 5, 2013
- Time: Race starts at 0900, orientation at 0845
- Place: Fair Hill NRMA, 1987 South Appleton Road Lot (map here)
- The course: PHUNT 2013 (updated Friday before race)
- Registration link for wait list: https://www.raceit.com/
register/?event=15168 (limit of 300 runners)
Entry: Unfortunately, we are well over our intended limit of 300 runners so registration is closed. Hunt is keeping a wait list for those still interested, in the off chance there is space (link above). If you are registered but not going to run, will you please email Hunt to allow a wait-lister in?
The Race: PHUNT 50K is run in the standard FatAss format -- no fee, no frills, just 50K of fresh air and plenty of single track trail at beautiful Fair Hill State Natural Area in northeastern Maryland, just a few miles from the Delaware and Pennsylvania state lines. We might mark some of it if we have time. Just in case, bring a map! Print one, or load the race track into your SmartPhone or GPS, from the files on the maps page (updated Friday before race).
Additionally, PHUNT would not be possible without committed volunteers and the gracious staff of Fair Hill NRMA who we have worked with us to make this happen. PLEASE respect the recreation area, DO NOT litter, and realize there may be other non-running Fair Hill users on the trail who should be treated with the utmost courtesy.
Race Amenities: The race is free but you expect amenities? Well, you are in luck -- we'll have just enough to keep you from keeling over from dehydration or starvation. Runners will be have access to fluids and snackies every 5 or 6 miles -- to help in this, we would appreciate it if each runner could bring one drink (preferred) or a snack item to contribute to the aid station tables. Best of all, Brother Phil gave us his barley lentil soup recipe before he left us for Florida, so you can probably expect some hot soup at the finish-line tent.

The Canned Food Drive: Please Participate in the PHUNT X Run Food Drive! The "2013 Runabundance for Philabundance" is once again coordinated by TrailDawg Alex Osterneck. As Alex notes:
Race Supporters: Thanks to the generosity of area merchants Trail Creek Outfitters, Delaware Running Company, and Chester County Running Store Pottstown, there will be giveaways at the start and merchandise awards for top finishers. Many thanks to these fine businesses for their generous support of this trail event!
Food-insecurity is a sad, unfortunate reality in America. In the greatest country in the history of the world, an astonishing 47-Million people collect food-stamps. That is 1/6 of our national-population. And there are millions more who go hungry that do not benefit from food stamps. Grown adults, children and senior-citizens in DE, MD & PA need your help – please donate canned-goods and non-perishables at PHUNT X. As in years past, all donations will be distributed to The Elkton Relief Shelter, The Delaware Food Bank, and Philabundance.
Thanks to the generosity of the 2012 PHUNT runners, 2012 was a huge success with ~1000-lbs of donated food brought to the race for distribution. Help break the TD record in 2013!! The participant who donates the most (canned goods, macaroni & cheese, breakfast cereals, no perishables,) will be crowned 2013 King or Queen, win personal-satisfaction, and be awarded a $50 gift-certificate to Trail Creek Outfitters.

Mason-Dixon Shortest Day Test Run Results
Despite all attempts to scare off everyone who expressed interest, two brave runners completed a test run of the Mason-Dixon Shortest Day 50K++.
Ryan Vandenberg now has the fastest time with an 8 hour and 35 minute passage through this very difficult stretch of trail.
Gary Lukacs hustled in on the final section and made it to the finish line exactly at the 4:45 pm sunset time.
Congratulations guys!
More info and pictures are on the MDSD page.

2013 MDSD Test Run Announced
PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE TO SUNDAY!
Why? possible presence of hunters on Saturday
RD Hunt Bartine has announced the inaugural run of another little bit of TrailDawg lunacy: The Mason Dixon Shortest Day 50K Challenge.
This do-it-yourself concept run will take place on SUNDAY December 23, 2012 on the west bank of the Susquehanna River south of Wrightville, PA, using the northern half of the Mason Dixon Longest Day 100K Challenge route. It will not likely be the easiest 50K you've run.
This is just an idea and not an event. Runners are totally on their own. There will be no aid, nobody at the start or finish, no organizers anywhere along the trail. The TrailDawgs are only suggesting this idea, providing links to maps here, and will publish your completion time on the web site. Don't ask for anything else. Runners are asked to record their own times and email them RD Hunt Bartine (Hbartine@yahoo.com) to develop a baseline for perhaps future more organized MDSDs.
Any normal person would be in their warm home getting ready for the holidays with loved ones. If you are considering this run, you should ask yourself "What in the heck's wrong with me?" and then visit the >> MDSD Web Page << for map links and other info.
