It might sound like a scene from "The Hunger Games" or "The Blair Witch Project." But for a runner in the XTERRA Trail Run Series, it’s just the path to the finish line.

XTERRA, a national multisport company, puts on races that are much more than your average 5K on the street. Its Trail Run Series, in which participants run grueling cross country style courses in parks and trails ranging anywhere from five kilometers to a full marathon, is making its Maryland debut this year on April 6 at Seneca Creek State Park in Gaithersburg.

The 10K race is the second of four in the inaugural Atlantic Series, one of 17 regional series that feed into the national race in September. Series director Kristen Thomas said the abundance of great trails and parks in

Waterproof Fitness Tracker Bluetooth Bracelets Vibrating p3 Pro Fitness Bands yi adding this series a logical choice.

The challenge of trail running has been a draw for many runners in the area, such as Andrea Monroe, 32, of Baltimore.

"You can’t just get out there and zone out and pound the pavement and go as fast as you can. You have to just constantly think as you navigate the trails," she said. "My favorite part about it is I have fun out there."

Monroe plans to run all four races in the series. She

Monroe, who trains on the trails with her pit bull, Alba, said her goal is to earn enough points in the series to win her age group. The XTERRA Trail Run Series awards a certain number of points to the top 15 runners in each gender

Qualifying for nationals has also crossed Leibowitz’s mind, although the Baltimore runner said it’s more of an afterthought. Since running cross country in high school and for
Tw64 Bluetooth Fitness Activity Tracker Smartband Activity Tracker Heart Rate Monitor Smart Bracelet Bluetooth mo a year at Tufts, the 29 year old ran on trails for fun, but hadn’t ventured much from road racing until XTERRA came along.

"It’s all kind of new to me," said Leibowitz, who finished 11th overall in the March 9 race. "In its bare sense, you really do feel
Smartband Windows Phone e06 Smart Band Smart Bracelet Ios pb more connected to nature and to everything around you and, by extension, to yourself. It’s a more encompassing running experience."

Trail running can also be much more challenging, which was evident in the

The biggest challenge of the Brandywine
Smart Wristband Bluetooth Bracelet Sleep Tracker Smart Bracelet Heart Rate Monitor ph Creek course was the abundance of hills, especially at the beginning of the race. The weather also caused some difficulty melting snow made the course extra muddy.

"It was a shock, it was very difficult," Monroe said. "While I was out there, I didn’t feel like I was doing well at all."

Being closer to nature means many more variables to take into account, not just for the runners, but also for race directors such
Smart Wristbands Android 4.0 Bluetooth Fitness Tracker Sleep Tracker Alarm le as Adam McCaffrey. The first course, for example, had to be altered because the melting snow made a stream too high to cross.

The race at Seneca Creek (which, coincidentally, is where "The Blair Witch Project" was filmed) is the first McCaffrey is directing for Adventure Geek Productions, the company that is organizing the Atlantic Series.

Organizers have to pay more
Smart Wristbands Android Bluetooth Smart Wristband Bracelet Water Resistant Smart Band Android Waterproof re attention to safety since there are more obstacles, and the course might be farther away from medical facilities, McCaffrey said. Mapping out the course also becomes more difficult.

"There’s not as many distinguishing landmarks you can point to," McCaffrey said. "You can’t be like,
Smart Wristbands Waterproof Fitness Bracelet Android System Sleep Monitor gt ‘Hey, turn at that really big oak tree.’ "

But he said the biggest difference between organizing a trail run instead of a road race is size there’s not nearly as much space on the trail and people can become crowded quickly, which can get dangerous.

Because of these logistics, the XTERRA series draws a smaller participant pool than many road races about 140 runners are signed up for the
Usb Sports Smart Wristband Bracelet Fitness Activity Tracker Bluetooth Smart Bracelet Wearable Devices Wristbands jo Seneca Creek race. The smaller size fosters a greater sense of community, runners said.

Said Candace Porter, a 26 year old runner from Capitol Hill: "You’re able to feed off of that energy from each other and get to know people along the race."

Porter largely credits the personal feel of the event to Adventure Geek Productions. The company’s attention to detail,
