The warm temperatures have cleared the trails of snow and ice so get ready for some awesome runs. There’s still a fair amount of water and mud but that’s a welcome change from what we’ve had.
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.
