Thank you to everyone who came out for the Trail Running Film Festival. And thank you for the sponsors who helped offset the cost and made sure the event took place. We’ve got Spring Run the Farm on Sunday, May 16, so get ready for some more fun.
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.

Early Risers start at 6:00 for an additional 4 miles.
Note that the pin above may not be entirely accurate and we will not be climbing any of the ruins.

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.
