Running the path less traveled  Bursell wins Treadwell Ditch
Trail Run to kick off new local running series  Posted: Sunday,
June 10, 2001  After winning Saturday's Treadwell Ditch Trail
Run, John Bursell said running off the beaten path requires a
smarter runner than those who race on the pavement. Or at least
a runner who can pay attention to what's going on.  "You have to
think the whole way," said Bursell, who covered the
approximately 5 1/2 mile run from Sandy Beach to the snowmachine
trail parking lot at the top of Blueberry Hill in 41 minutes, 41
seconds. "You have to plan where you put your feet. The trails
are easier on you, as long as you don't lose track of what
you're doing. I twisted my ankle when I wasn't paying attention,
and all you can do is try to run it out."  Saturday's run kicked
off a new trail running series sponsored by the Southeast Road
Runners Club. The series includes popular Juneau races like the
Mount Roberts Tram Run, the Windfall Lake Trail Challenge Run,
the Ben Blackgoat Memo
