January 21, Bennett’s Pond

SUNDAY

On Sunday, January 21, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Bennett’s Pond on the Ridgefield/Danbury border when we run an epic 10 mile loop designed by Keith Realander. Meet at the parking lot on Bennett’s Farm Road (see Google map) prepared to run this clockwise loop which includes some of the same trails in the Pavement Ends race. Those looking for a shorter run can eliminate the Hemlock Hills loop. An out-and-back to the end of of the White trail will get you a scenic 5 mile run so there are options for making the run shorter. Anyone interested in getting an early start can arrive at 6:00 a.m. or 7:00 a.m.

SATURDAY

On Saturday, January 20, at 8:00 a.m., meet at the Goldens Bridge Train Station main lot (Old Bedford Road), when we run the Kennedy to Reis Park/Angle Fly Preserve. From the lot, we’ll drive over to the trailhead of the Kennedy Trail, cut through to Somers High School, then make our way to Reis Park. I’ve outlined a 7.3 mile run but you have the option of continuing on to Angle Fly and turn this into a half marathon. I don’t have a PDF map for this, but I do have .kml and .gpx files if you want to see what I’m thinking.

Hope to see you out there this weekend.

Great to see so many out in balmy 14 degree weather last weekend. By comparison, this weekend will practically be shorts weather.
