Check out the new Live Map feature on future maps. You can navigate routes in real time so you’ll never get lost. Just make sure to visit the maps while you have an internet connection before the run.
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.

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.

The Free Avenza Maps software now has a free trail map of the Reservation available here. You can use that or the free GaiaGPS to load KML files of some of our runs as overlays. Now there’s no excuse to get lost.
