Don't forget - Coming Western States 100 24-25 June, 2006
The annual 100mile "trek" across the HOT, HOT Sierras will again be held this coming weekend, and many CHIPS will be taking on this incredible challenge.
High Dunger John Blue will continue to lead the herd with full support from Eric Skaden, Mark Lantz, John Nichols, Grant Carboni and James Yee to note just some of the club men’s highlights. On the women’s side, Rena Schumann, Karyn Hoffman, and Becky Johnson certainly “highlight” the experienced WS100 perspective and that of the first-timer.
Best of experiences to all our BISON on this demanding course.

This is a busy weekend for our local runners to pushing their body to the limits!! Several local Chips will head up to Idaho to participate in another grueling sport...the Ironman (and woman!!) in Coeur d'Alene!!
