We had some great runs this past weekend and look forward to more mild days ahead.
If you’re looking for something less intensive than a run, join us on Sunday at 8:00 a.m. for a shorter hike—we typically have a few that enjoy a walking pace. Now there’s no reason not to join us!
Hope to see you out there.

March 21 @ 7:00 am – 9:00 amOn Saturday, March 21, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Michigan Road Lot, ready to run the second part of the Run the Numbers course. For the next several weeks, we’ll be running this course a piece at a time. Today, we’ll be continuing the Green Loop—starting where we left off last week with 12. I think we can add some of the Orange loop to intersection 31 as well but we’ll make a game-day decision. In the coming weeks, we’ll tackle the rest of the course. Early risers start at 6:00 a.m. to visit 12–16 before returning. At 7:00, we’ll start with 17 and potentially get to 31.

Those of you in the group may remember that the Raven Rocks Run once went up the CB trail for a memorable climb near the start. We’re bringing that climb back today with the Raven Flashback. You’ll also have options of longer and shorter distances as well. Cobweb Crew starts at 5:00; Early Risers at 7:00.
Rookie Runners start at 7:00 for a shorter loop and and easier pace.
Walkers/Hikers start at 8:00 on a short course of around 4 miles.

Just a reminder, it’s tick season. Shower and check your skin over after runs, use a bug spray with Deet on your shoes, legs, and arms before a run, and I recommend light-color socks or calf sleeves that have been sprayed with Permethrin, Picaridin, or other bug repellent and allowed to dry. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of doxycycline. For more information about tick bites and tick removal, visit cdc.gov.
Help keep the trails clear by reporting downed trees or other conditions that the park should know about.
