On Sunday, May 17, start anytime between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Meadow Lot, ready to run Eleanor’s Great Escape. You might notice that I’ve updated this longer version of the classic Eleanor’s Escape to include multiple distances so now you have some choices as to how far you’d like to go. Remember to socially distance, wear a mask or buff in the lot and when you see others on the trail, keep in small groups, and start at various times. And bring your own maps, thanks.

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.
