25 WBM TRAIL WARNINGS Running the Uwharrie Trail is a true adventure that requires intense concentration. The national forest terrain is hilly and the trail is treacherous. Fallen leaves conceal rocks, roots, sticks and holes. Expect to trip and fall at least once during the day. If you turn an ankle, keep moving. Dutchman’s Creek flows along part of the trail and runners will enjoy numerous stream crossings, which may mean wet feet. The creek water is not safe to drink. If you find yourself in a part of the forest posted with hunting signs YOU ARE OFF THE TRAIL. Don’t follow other runners into unblazed territory. Don’t become discouraged if you get lost. Rain, which occurred in 2012 and 2013, or ice sometimes create wet and muddy conditions. BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING. www.wrightsvillebeachmagazine.com
