I'm training for a marathon (NYC 2013) and want to do a 15 mile run on the Playa on Saturday in early morning. I've heard of the ultra marathon and 5K events happening on Wed and Thurs, but it'd be nice to have some running partners on Saturday.
Also any running advice for dealing with dust, recommended shoes, etc.?
Drop me a line!

Don't they make tracks specially made for running on? You could always run to get ice for everyone in your neighborhood at the burn....

Everyone I've seen doing these runs just get out there and run...and they probably have cold water cached somewhere along their route.lil_minan wrote:Also any running advice for dealing with dust, recommended shoes, etc.?
Don't bore your friends with all your troubles. Tell your enemies instead, for they will delight in hearing about them.

Have fun! I'll be doing the ultra... Consider doing half of it for a training run. I'm using the ultra as a training run for my first marathon (in October). YMMV

Lil Minan,
I'm doing 8 on Fri am, and 4 on Saturday am. I keep an old pair of ASICS just for the playa (run in minimal shoes these days) although I may also run in huaraches this year (feels great, but deadly for drying out and chapping feet.) I always just take a handheld bottle (rely on the kindness of strangers if I go dry) and head for deep playa, oftentimes running along the perimeter fence and dipping back in to check out art.
