Trail Runners of PTU

The adventurous ladies of PTU, Laura Goodwin and Bernice Pierson, did the 25K (15.5 miles) Tejas Trail Run at the Hill Country State Natural Area in Bandera on January 8.

The Bandera Trail run allows athletes to choose from a 25K, 50K or 100K course. There are lots of steep uphills and downhills which makes it a pretty tough trail to negotiate. The rocky trails are dangerous and require maximum attention.
With clear, sunny skies and temperatures in the high 50's during the day, the runners had beautiful views from the tops of the hills.

Bernice finished the 25k in 4 hours and 15 minutes while Laura finished in 4 hours and 55 minutes.
