Highs and lows on Liminal Trail . . . the beauty of the scenery, the challenge of the course, the race against/with other runners and yourself. So all results will be updated in this format, to show part of the "big picture". What these results don't show however, is the rest of the picture . . . most everyone who finishes one of these races has pushed themselves further than they've been pushed before on a course in central Kansas and they all are winners--because they come through the finish with redefined limits and all smiles! |
The "Liminal Trail" is a perfect 5k distance, so 10/15k racers will get to see all the rugged Kansas beauty twice in one day. The trail was created with the focus of a protected course that would showcase Flint Hills scenery and, at the same time, give racers a surprising new perspective of the region and themselves--hence the trail name. This trail race will not produce times equivalent to road races. Liminal means threshold . . . "a place where boundaries dissolve a little and we stand there, on the threshold, getting ourselves ready to move across the limits of what we were and what we are now to be". . .a period of transition where normal limits to thought, self-understanding, and behavior are relaxed - a situation which can lead to new perspectives. |

| About the Trail |
The 2nd Annual Back It Up Trail Race for the United Way was
definitely a success. Between $450 pledges/donations and $550
matched from Lake Adventures and Acorns Resort, we have met our
goal of $1000 for 2010. A fund raiser that makes such a huge
difference in our local community--and it only took some determined
people and a couple of hours.
I participate in many events for great causes, but know that I should
and could do more--for those right here in my own community.
Unfortunately, we've all been there or will be at sometime in our
lives--in a place where a hand to help makes the difference between
night and day. That's what the United Way does and Mike and I are
happy to be a part of it. Special thanks to the great people at the
United Way-- Ailleen Cray for supporting this effort, to Heidi Morgan
and Linda Crouch for volunteering your time, and to Tricia Gowen for
bringing in the highest pledged amount, volunteering AND running!
Thanks to everyone who came out today to run--you helped to make a
difference today . . . and hopefully had a great time doing it!
We look forward to 2011 and hope that this event will be even bigger
and better!
