New Route: The Electric Slide
For various reasons, the "Shelby Hills" route has been scrapped. Which is a bummer, but exciting because we get to create a new route #10. When we were mapping the replacement route, we wanted to: (1) still run through the Shelby Hills neighborhood, and (2) highlight the "hills" part of that neighborhood. So .... Introducing "The Electric Slide":
Here are a couple of quick notes: (1) when you are running up the hill out of Shelby Park, you have to make a hard left hand turn halfway up the hill (around the 1.75 mile mark). (2) We run all the way down Electric Avenue until it ends. (3) When you turn left from Sevier onto 14th, cross the road and run on the right side of 14th. (4) When you turn right on Lenore, remember that this was Duane's idea.
IMPORTANT:
Even if you are a long time East Nasty take a moment to look over the map, because we've really never run through this part of East Nashville before. (You can even print it off it you are prone to getting lost...)
Where: The corner of 11th and Holly in East Nashville
When: 6 p.m. on Wednesday
