Prep work needed to get ready for the upcoming Wildwood Games (see details below)
Date: Sunday, June 22nd – meet at the Lake Springs trailhead of the Bartram Trail
Time: 9AM
Work: Lopping the trails
What to bring: Loppers if you have them (we do have quite a few as well), water, gloves, insect spray (we will have some as well)
If we have enough volunteers sign up (please sign up so we can plan for tools) we will lop the Lake Springs loop and portions of Bartram Trail heading east as well as send some volunteers over to Keg Creek to do rolling lopping (at least some of the loppers need to bring their bikes, we will have some on foot). If we don’t have enough volunteers and the work does not get completed we will have to schedule additional work at a later date. Please sign up if you can help, it is hot this time of year and the quicker we can get this work done the better for everyone.
If you can help or have questions, please respond here – sorba.csra@gmail.com
A great way to introduce others to work parties is to partner up. Bring a friend who has never been before and they can work side-by-side with you. In the end you have spent quality time with your friend and we just may have another regular trail volunteer!
The work we are doing in preparation for these games will directly benefit our chapter.
Thank you!
Columbia County CVB Announces Dates for Inaugural Wildwood Games Sports Festival
Evans, GA (March 28, 2014) – The Columbia County Convention and Visitors Bureau announced today the inaugural “Wildwood Games” sports festival will take place August 23 and 24, 2014, at Wildwood Park in Appling, Georgia. The multi-sport event will feature marathon mountain bike races, trail running races, and outdoors expo.
The mountain bike race will offer two distance options. The shorter race will take place mainly on the Bartram Trail and cover approximately 32 miles, beginning at Wildwood Park, heading toward the West Dam area, then returning to finish at Wildwood Park.
The long option will cover approximately 62 miles. The course will utilize the Bartram Trail, Keg Creek Trail, Mistletoe State Park trails, and some connector roads. This race will serve as a test run for the proposed course for the USA Cycling Marathon Mountain Bike National Championships which will take place here in 2015 and 2016.
The trail running races will utilize the Bartram Trail and offer four distance options: 50 Kilometers, 26.2 miles, 13.1 miles, and 10 kilometers. The courses will feature a mix of singletrack trails and jeep service roads.
Next year, in addition to featuring the USA Cycling Marathon Mountain Bike Nationals, the Wildwood Games will introduce distance open water swimming in Clarks Hill Lake, a disc golf tournament at the International Disc Golf Center, and an expanded festival footprint featuring live music and outdoors expo.
The Wildwood Games will be managed and marketed by SixSpeed, a Minneapolis-based agency with extensive experience in producing and marketing action sports events. Their clients include Red Bull, Cannondale Bicycles, the X Games, Trek Bicycles, and St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
Event registration information and a detailed schedule for this year’s Wildwood Games will be released in late-April.
