December 1, Fat Ass Run

SUNDAY, LEWISBORO TOWN PARK

This Sunday, December 1, at 8:00 a.m, meet at the Lewisboro Town Park upper parking lot (see map) when we  run a perennial favorite—the Fat Ass Run. Since the bridges are still out, this year’s course will follow the Town Park to Kimberly map and give you from 6 to 11 miles of calorie-burning fun. Anyone interested in getting an early start can arrive at 7:00 a.m. Diehards start at 5:00 a.m.

SATURDAY, TRAILSIDE MUSEUM

On Saturday, November 30, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Trailside Museum lot, when we run a new course—Trailside to Joe 7 mile loop. Those who’ve run with me for a while know that once the cold temperatures set it, I’m more inclined to do some exploring in the parks. For this run, We’ll head over to Joe’s Hill on the Western part of the Rez. While the Dancing Rock Run includes part of Joe’s Hill, we’ll push a little farther west to the top of it where most of you have never been. There are a couple of other bushwhacks on the course as well so this may not be one of your fastest seven mile runs.

FRIDAY, ZOFNASS FAMILY PRESERVE

This Friday, November 30, at 8:00 a.m, meet at the Zofnass Family Preserve on Upper Shad Road in Pound Ridge (see Google Map) when we run everyone’s favorite labyrinthian preserve with a network of trails noted for its crags and rock outcrops. Meet at the main entrance and we’ll follow a perimeter loop making all right turns except for exiting the park. We’ll make a 6-mile loop counter-clockwise around the preserve this time excluding the orange, western loop. This is the perfect antidote to the Black Friday crunch.

And great, if wet, run with this group on the Annunaki Bushwhack. If you’d like to learn more about the artist, visit his personal Facebook page, another more cryptic Facebook page, or website.
