Squirrelly Tail Twail Wun 1/2 Marathon
February 9, 2025
Do you have to be a little squirrelly or not squirrelly at all to run the Squirrelly Tail? Well all of the above is acceptable. If you sport trail or road shoes come on out, if you enjoy dodging trees, hurdling guardrail/logs, running in mud/snow, darting across loose rocks while aimlessly following unique survey ribbon draped through the woods. The Squirrelly Tail run is for you. You undoubtedly might be breathless and speechless or tongue tied, like the crazy race director who schemed this madness up..
