May 27, Lewisboro Town Park

SUNDAY

This Sunday, May 27, at 8:00 a.m, meet at the Lewisboro Town Park Upper Lot when we run a course that includes some of the newest trails in the Reservation—The Town Park to Covered Bridge Loop. We’ll all start out together and head toward the Meadow and up the FH trail but from there, you’ll have options for different distances. Three of the four options will take you through the covered bridge. The 8.6 mile option takes you to a couple smaller trails that we haven’t been on in a while so pay attention to the turns. Anyone interested in getting an early start can arrive at 6:00 a.m. or 7:00 for an additional 8 or 4 miles.

SATURDAY

This Saturday, May 26, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Sylvan Glen, near Yorktown. This is a former quarry that provided the stone for the ramps to the George Washington and Whitestone bridges and there are remnants throughout the park as a result. We’ll follow a course that will cross one road and continue into Granite Knolls, an adjacent park where we’ll find the giant boulder—you’ll know it when you see it. If you want to continue your run, you can follow the perimeter of Granite Knolls and cross a bridge over the Taconic State Parkway into Woodlands Legacy Fields Park and add an extra 2.5 miles or more of the perimeter loop there. Park at the lot across from 2857 Grant Avenue, Mohegan Lake, NY, on the western entrance to the park and see the map page here ››

MEMORIAL DAY MONDAY

There are some races on Monday that you might be participating in but if you are looking for something less competitive, this Monday, May 28, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Butler Preserve in Mt. Kisco for a 5-mile double out-and-back course. If you’re looking for longer, Westmoreland is just across the street.

Great looking group in the fog at Mountain Lakes last weekend.
