July 18 & 19: A Great Escape

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_tabs][vc_tab title=”COVID-19 INFORMATION” tab_id=”1587233533148-2-74181-98ea”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1594128088835{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

New York’s Mid-Hudson region has entered Phase 4 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.

Bennett’s Pond Overlook Loop

On Saturday, July 18, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Bennett's Pond parking lot ready to run the 7-mile Overlook Loop. The most overgrown part of the trail has been recently trimmed so we should be OK to follow the map as is. If you're looking for a longer run, you can continue on the yellow trail into Hemlock Hills for over 10 miles. No pressure but maybe we'll get Keith Realander out on this one. But really, no pressure.

On Sunday, July 19, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Meadow Lot, ready to run Eleanor's Great Escape. This course starts from the Meadow and makes a counterclockwise loop around the Rez. The longest distance manages to avoid most of the hills in the park save for two, but you have options for shorter distances as well. Early risers can start at 6:00 and 7:00.

Rookie Runners start at 7:00 for a shorter distance and easier pace and are welcome to stay for the 8:00 run.
