New York’s Mid-Hudson region has entered Phase 3 of reopening.

We will continue to maintain safe practices to prevent any potential spread of Coronavirus. I’ll bring a camera to take a group photo but you can probably stand a little closer than last week if you, and the people around you, feel comfortable.

• Maintain social distancing before, during, and after the run
• Run abreast where possible to keep out of each other’s slipstreams
• Stagger start times, courses, and directions to maintain smaller groups
• Wear masks or buffs/neck gaiters when in the parking lots and when you see others on the trail even if they don’t do the same. 

Hope to see you out there this weekend.
