Empyrean Ales 5k
For the past 5 years, racers at the Empyrean Trails 5k have been met with snow, mud, and cold. In 2017 the course was dry, the wind was up, and runners were ready to get after some cross country with one of the best post-race spreads around. Hosted at Camp Carol Joy Holling with a course designed by LRC’s own Ivan Marsh, the 6th annual version of this race has turned into an early season test-piece for people training over the winter or a rust-buster for those still getting in shape.
Over the fields, through the woods, and up some wooden steps the course is really challenging. Not to be deterred, LRC-Racing showed up ready to roll with 4 of top 5, 5 of top 6, and the master’s winner. Joe Coil bringing home the coveted 5 gallon keg, with many others picking up growlers of the made for the race “Luther” Lager.
