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.
