  • Please congratulate those Zers who participated in the North Face challenge this weekend. Zers had the option of doing a 5K, 10 K, half marathon, marathon, marathon relay, 50K or a 50 mile trail run. I would have to say it was a spectacular weekend for a trail run. Kudos to Nicholas Nouvel and Sally Kidd for being our Team Z Race Directors at this event. Everything went off without a hitch. Well done!
