The 2012 Klaus Park Trail Series kicks off on a picture perfect sunny November afternoon with the second running of The Meandering Turkey. A dry hot summer has made for a packed and fast course that has been manicured into immaculate condition by race director Bryan Kelpe. Last year's popularity is evidenced with nearly a 50% increase in participation.
The race will see Notre Dame XC teammates Clayton Myers and Brock Kasten battle stride for stride over the "approximately 4.5 miles of hilly, rooty, single track trail". In the end, Myers will edge out his younger challenger by one second. The hard-charging Joe Windeknecht will cross the finish line in third place with Andy Johnson and Shaun Rellergert (31:17) fourth and fifth.
