America’s Best Trail Running Cities Contest Winners

February 18, 2011 by Bryon Powell · 7 Comments 

Destination Dirt logoA couple weeks ago, we called for you to share information on some of America’s best trail running cities. We thank you for your awesome response in the iRunFar forum. As promised, we’re giving away 32 pair of the brand new Salomon XR Crossmax, one for each of our highlighted cities. (We can hardly believe that we received a response for each and every city on the list. Thanks!) We’re also giving away to 10 $10 Backcountry.com gift certificates to those who provided information in the forum regarding other great American trail running cities, towns, and areas.

If you are a winner, please contact us to provide us with your email address and, for Crossmax winners, your mailing address. Backcountry.com gift certificates will be delivered by email, while Crossmax gift certificates will be mailed to the winners.

      Hi friends,

      I’m filling in for Bryon because he’s on the road, headed to run the Moab Red Hot 55k in Moab tomorrow. Bryon chose the “winners” with a random number generator from among those who left substantive (read: useful) comments.

      Thanks again!
      Meghan
