June 6th, 2009

Mint Spring Valley Park, Crozet, VA

The Great Eastern Trail Run Series promotes trail running and trail conservation by introducing runners and walkers of all backgroundsto the beautiful Charlottesville Trails.  All of the GETRS races have a trail conservation theme.  Every trail race has a canine component, where participants can run or walk with their dog or with an SPCA dog.  The SPCA is on site with their puppies.  Part of the proceeds from the Canine Run/Walk benefit the SPCA.

The temperature was mild for a June day in Virginia, and all the people and dogs enjoyed a dip in the lake after the event.  For a dog, and for a person, there is no better place to be active in the summer than the trails.  Being shaded, the trails keep the temperature down for our furry friends.

Blake Puhak from Richmond lead and won the field with a time of 28:18.  He was accompanied by his super fast dog, Jocelyn.  The SPCA dogs also came in strong!.  All the SPCA dogs appreciated the opportunity of spending a day in the woods, and some might even get adopted by participants!  Thank you to all our sponsors and supporters:  Bad to the Bone Endurance Sports, Charlottesville Running Company, Vasque Trail Shoes and the local SPCA.  Also, thank you to the Albemarle County Parks and Recreation for doing such an incredible job maintaining the trails!
