Save Saturday, July 11, for a run in the Catskills of the Slide Mountain Loop. And a friendly reminder that it’s tick season. Please check yourselves over after runs or any outdoor activity like gardening.
Congratulations to everyone who came out for the Fire Tower 10k and Half. What an amazing day on the trails.
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.
