SUNDAY: WHERE THE PAVEMENT ENDS
On Sunday, September 15, 8:00 a.m., run Where the Pavement Ends, a fun and challenging 4-plus miles of sometimes narrow, sometimes hilly, always beautiful trails. It is a great mix of fire road, single track, flats, hills, and one fast downhill section right towards the end. Meet at the Ridgebury School, South Shore Drive, Ridgefield, CT and be ready to run at 8:00 a.m. This is another in the Trail Mix Series of races. Those looking to start early can arrive at 4:00 a.m. with their headlamps and test the trail in the dark. Or arrive at 6:00 a.m. for a last course check before the race. The course is marked with flags but you might want to bring a map of the course.
SATURDAY: SARAH BISHOP COURSE CHECK, CLEAN UP
On Saturday, September 14, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Mountain Lakes Park, Pool Parking Lot (if the gate is closed meet at the trailhead to Lookout Point), when we run a course check of Sarah Bishop. We know that there are some branches down that need to be cleared so first we’ll assess the course. Then anyone what wants to help clean up the course, meet that the pool lot at 9:00 a.m. and we’ll send teams out to do what’s necessary. Bring a pair of work gloves, rake, bow saw, loppers, and a grass cutter if you have one. Hopefully, we’ll be done by noon. Thanks in advance for your help. Without our volunteers, this race wouldn’t be possible. New: want to get more miles in? We’ll start at 6:00 a.m. as well and return by 7:00.
