March 25, Lewisboro Town Park

SUNDAY

On Sunday, March 25, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Lewisboro Town Park ready to run our inaugural loop on the northern trails and commemorate the start of the group eight years ago. Eight years ago Rob started the runs at the Town Park with a handful of local runners preparing for the Leatherman’s Loop. We’ll recreate that first run (and add some miles as an option) to commemorate our humble beginnings. The trails are still snow-covered but that won’t stop us. Those looking to do some extra miles can arrive at 5:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., or 7:00 a.m.

SATURDAY

On Saturday, March 24, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Kimberly Bridge Lot for hill repeats. I’m not gonna lie—there are prettier and more fun runs but this will help get you in shape for the upcoming races. The more repeats we do, the more compact the trail and the easier they’ll be. The course is 1.2 miles round-trip with 400 feet of gain—just what you need to get you ready for Timp pass. Come out for 3, 4, 13, 21, 26 or however many repeats you want.

THURSDAY, MARCH 29: NIGHT RUN

We’ll be having the first night run of the year on Thursday, March 29. Show up at lean-to 5, Michigan Road lot, at 7:00 p.m. for an approximate 6 mile run. Bring a headlamp, a change of clothes, some snacks, some refreshments, and hang out with fellow runners, swap stories, and plan for the upcoming year. I will confirm later in the week. Watch the site for last-minute details.

Hope to see you out there this weekend.
