Run South on Elm Street towards 14th St., once there complete 8 Merkins. Run to Gateway (Belk) Dorm, Run North on College Hill, turn left on 10th st., Run South on Rock Spring Rd., once at 14th st., perform 8 Merkins. Run to Gateway Dorm again, turn left and go North on College Hill, turn right at bottom towards Elm St. Take a right and head South to 14th.
Rinse and Repeat.

I had a goal to run the PAX as far as I could within the allotted time. I wanted everyone to set new mileage records at RunStrong and I was sure everyone could get between 4-5 miles and complete 32 Merkins. It made perfect sense. I was so excited to see the figure 8 on my Strava app when I was complete.
Here’s the lesson, I didn’t inform the PAX to come back for the six at the bottom of college hill each time around, soooooo, we got strung out. I did go back a couple of times and everyone had a partner, but I should have had specific directions when to come back for the PAX. Leave no man behind.
The bright side, we got great mileage and a few laughs wondering where Underdog and Spaulding had gone…
Thanks Boston Lager!
