Sonoma County Trails Council receives $10k from the Annadel Half Marathon! Many thanks to the race organizers and participants for supporting Annadel State Park and the Trails Council.

In an effort to take direct action to address the significant financial challenges facing Annadel State Park, Fleet Feet Sports Santa Rosa and Empire Runners held the 2nd annual Annadel Half Marathon on April 17, 2011. The Annadel Half Marathon was a fund-raiser inspired by the need to do something for the park loved by hikers, runners, mountain bikers and equestrians. The need is even more critical with the recent announcement that Annadel is on the list of 70 state parks scheduled to be closed. The Annadel Half organizers selected the Sonoma County Trails Council to receive a portion of the funds from this event to maintain the trails in Annadel. The $10,000 grant means that the Trails Council can organize and lead regular trail work days at Annadel, with a trail work event every third Saturday, starting with completion of our current project on North Burma Trail and continuing in the fall with improvements on Ridge Trail.

Keep an eye out and join us for monthly work days in the park! If you want to volunteer or get on the e-list for announcements for trail work events, contact Ken Wells, SCTC Executive Director.

Hikers on a fundraising 5-mile hike from the start at Spring Lake to Lake Ilsanjo followed the runners, traveling by way of the recent Trails Council project on Spring Creek trail.

The organizers have posted many photos and other information on the race website.
