Starting last year, the ENVIRO-VENTURE TRAIL
SERIES became a bonafide annual points competition, complete with
prizes and all-important bragging rights for the top finishers.
Every
2007 ENVIRO-SPORTS trail run participant was automatically entered
in the ENVIRO-VENTURE KING & QUEEN OF THE MOUNTAIN TITLE SERIES.
Every runner began racking up points from the first finish line crossed
- regardless of how he or she placed! That's right... If you ran with
us this year, you earned points just for finishing - whether you came
in first, last or in the middle of the pack.
Compound points were earned every time a runner
placed top-three in his or her age group. A third place finish, for
example, would net a runner one extra point per mile (i.e. a total of
12.4 points for a 10K distance). Second place earns two extra points
per mile and first place gets three extra points per mile.

VASQUE stays on board for
another year! They like what they see and hear!
The team at VASQUE has been
hearing about our trail series runs selling out months in advance, the
passion that our athletes bring to each event and that our runs are
beautiful and unique. The result... they have decided to continue to
sponsor this series! We are really excited about teaming up with VASQUE
in
2008 to bring you another great year of fun and fitness.
And so, King
Ray, Queen Anna, and the top-20 runners-up listed here will each be
receiving a new pair of VASQUE trail running shoes!

Because
Your Passion
Shouldn't Play Second Fiddle
If you're serious about running trails, it's time to
seriously reconsider your footwear. Sure, the big-name shoe companies
have a handful of trail-specific offerings. But when it comes down to
it, the dollars and cents tally up much steeper on the side of
road-specific models, leaving their trail lines relegated to the "niche
product" category.
The team at VASQUE takes a different
approach. All they do is trail shoes.
VASQUE doesn't make trail shoes. They
breed, incubate, raise and wean them. Then one bittersweet day, when
they've reached maturity, it's time for them to be released into their
natural habitat. The
VASQUE line features
approximately 100 styles of high-quality, technologically functional
footwear for outdoor use.
Based in Red Wing, MN, VASQUE
is a leading manufacturer of performance outdoor footwear. The VASQUE
line is sold in specialty outdoor retailers, including REI and Sports
Basement. For more information about VASQUE's products, visit www.vasque.com or call 800-224-4453.
