So, two for tonight. I would like to congratulate Joel Warren, our new Vice President and our newest Board member Larry Griffith. They join our existing board…Bob Ingoldsby, Bobbi Diller, Debbie Sweetnam, Rick Carr, Ouch Roenigk, Jim Meyer, Art Borland (Director of Finance) and Bob Danehy (Director of Membership).

The Council has contracted with Holbein Inc for the construction of the parking lot in Butler and ground will be broken soon. After the rough in, we will be utilizing the parking lot for the framing of the concrete bridge decking (will need volunteer concrete finishers), bridge beams bids have been awarded and we are coordinating delivery. The beams will need fabricated to fit with the existing 6 beams we already have, they will also need sandblasted and painted. Bridge railing will be ordered within the next couple of weeks and that also will need fabricated.

Stay tuned for posts on work nights and a call out for specific skill sets. Spring is right around the corner and we are devising a plan of attack. Let’s get this bridge built (and out of my yard, lol).

If you interested in volunteering, please send an email to butlerfreeporttrail@yahoo.com.

A big thank you to the Butler Elks Club for their generous donation, it is ear marked to help with the cost of Boy Scout Eagle Projects and Girl Scout Gold Award Projects.
Thanks and Happy Trails
Chris

  • Is everyone getting excited? Couple things I would like to post…
    Please get to registration early, last bus leaves Lernerville for the start at 8:30.
    There is a warm building at the start along with portojohns.
    Belongings will be collected at the start and bussed to the finish, do not wait till the last minute to check your bag.
    Previous years shirts will be sold at the finish.
    Do not leave the chute without your finisher medal, I will not be able to confirm you received one and we only ordered the amount we needed. Your chip must be on your ankle, lost chip, fee is $35 and that is the runners responsibility to pay.
    Be careful this is a trail, we do our best to keep it well maintained but there are a couple areas with caution signs and cones.
    Water stations are at….2,5,7,9,12. Gatorade at 5,7,9. Gu available at 5,7,9 while supplies last.

    The Buffalo Creek Half-Marathon is limited to 1000 runners to ensure a quality event.  It is the end of September and we are very close to filling all 1000 registration slots.

     

    Registration on Active.com will close automatically when the allotted on-line registration is full.  Mail-in registrations posted marked after September 30, 2012 will be admitted to the race registration rolls based on availability and when received.

     

    We are pleased with the popularity of our race and wish we could accommodate all who would like to participate.  However, given our physical facility and status as an all volunteer organization a participant limit of 1000 provides the best opportunity for ensuring the quality of the event.

     

    For those who do not get to participate in 2012, we invite you to the 8th Annual Buffalo Creek Half-Marathon in 2013 and say, “thank you for your interest and support and register early
