Michigan 4×8 Challenge

August 28 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 pm

Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Michigan Road Lot

Michigan Road
Pound Ridge, NY 10576 United States

On Sunday, August 28, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Michigan Road Lot, ready to run the Michigan 4×8 Challenge. The entire Challenge starts at 5:00 a.m. but you can start whenever you want, including 8:00 a.m. This course consists of a series of 4-mile (approximate) clockwise loops in the Rez that can be completed within an hour. At 5:00 a.m., we’ll start with the magenta loop, then work our way in a clockwise pattern hitting the purple and then green loops. At 8:00, we’ll start with yellow, then blue, orange and so on, using our cars as aid stations between loops. Total distance would be just over 50k but you can stop whenever you want. This is the last weekend before the close of the Run Like a Wolf challenge so it’s a great opportunity to get those miles logged. Cobweb Crew starts at 5:00; Early Risers at 7:00.

Rookie Runners start at 7:00 for a shorter distance and easier pace.

The Free Avenza Maps software now has a free trail map of the Reservation available here. I’ll make .kml files available as I can so you can load them as layer overlays. Now there’s no excuse to get lost.
