This dude keeps charging at 60!!!
Lots of mumble chatter about STD transmission rates at old folks homes and stupid people who drink water when they’re not thirsty. I can explain my theory…basically, stop thinking you need to drink X gallons of water a day (or whatever you read). My grandma is 99 and she doesn’t drink water. She eats oranges.
Your body tells you what you need…
You get hungry – you eat You get tired – you sleep You get hurt – you don’t use that thing
But no, you need to drink water all day to survive???
You give a plant too much water and it dies. Plant is 90% water, humans are 60%.
Follow me for more crazy theories.

WTF is happening on 4/20!!!

That’s right! WTF is back again!

For those of you that did not make it previous years, or are unaware of what WTF is… Here are the basics:

Waxhaw Trail Fest will take place on Saturday April 20th. Registration is done as an individual, and race directors will assign you to a team based on average pace to keep all teams competitive. This is a trail run, relay style on 3 different trail loops setup at Cuthbertson Middle School in Waxhaw NC. The loops all start and stop at the WTF village where you and your fellow PAX can relax and enjoy some 2nd F until your next leg.  For the Standard Relay option, the race is complete when each member of your team runs each loop once, totaling approx 12 miles per runner. This year we are adding an alternate Relay Lite option for those that may not be able to commit to the full time, or don’t feel confident in the total distance. Relay Lite is still a team of 3, however each runner only completes one loop, and the team’s total distance will be 12 miles. The Solo option is a free-for-all. You can run/walk/ruck any or all loops to accommodate your own schedule and running capabilities.

Registration is $15– This will include your race, food, snacks and hydration throughout the event.

Long Sleeve T-shirt $15- If you would like to add the infamous WTF logo’d apparel for 2024

UPDATE 3/27:

*****DEADLINE FOR SHIRT ORDER HAS PASSED. WE WILL HAVE A HANDFUL OF EXTRAS ON SITE. THESE SHIRTS WILL BE AUCTIONED OFF TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AND USED AS A DONATION TO CHARITY!****

Awards given to top overall team in the Standard relay, as well as the annual hand off of the sought after WTF Trophy

Every registered runner will get an email with updated Team information prior to the event, in addition to packet pickup information for the morning of the event.

In the village we will provide music, coffee, hydration, a BBQ grill setup with a selection of food, including sandwiches, chicken, burgers, and bacon and eggs. Please bring your own chairs and a team canopy if desired. Any team snacks or preferred drinks are up to each team.

All extra money raised will be held for donation. Last year we raised money for Cuthbertson school as well as the family of our fallen brother Ex-Lax.
