RETIRING PINK ROUTE
UNTIL SPRING 2011
Although MMM is all about doing whatever we feel like, we are recommending that everyone walk/run the yellow route until the evenings get lighter. Our feedback tells us that the pink
route is quite dark this time of year. If you decide to do the pink route anyway, please carry a flashlight and take extra precautions. Thanks |
