On Sunday, October 7, at 9:00 a.m., get ready to run everybody’s favorite trail half marathon in southern Westchester—PaineToPain. The course is a giant loop that winds its way through the woods and trails of five different parks starting at Thomas Paine Cottage in New Rochelle and ending at New Rochelle High School. Get ready for this unique event and learn more at PaineToPain.com.

On Sunday, October 7, at 8:00 a.m., if you’re not running Paine to Paine, then meet at Lewisboro Town Park, upper lot, ready to run the Reservation Perimeter Loop. The total run is 12 miles but I have options for 8 and 6 mile distances as well. If you’re looking to start early, bring a headlamp and start at 5:00 a.m. for a pre-run in the opposite direction. All totaled, overachievers can reach 24 miles with these back-to-back runs.

SATURDAY

On Saturday, October 6, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Mountain Lakes Park, Hemlock Lake Campsite, 201 Hawley Drive, North Salem, NY, for another run of the Sarah Bishop Bushwhack course. While I may be responsible for your sore legs the beginning of this week, I’ve never actually run the course as you did so I’m going to give it a try. In addition, I have a couple little bushwhacks that I’d like to take just to make the day more interesting and make the run a true Sarah Bishop Bushwhack. Download the PDF ››

MONDAY

On Monday, October 8, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Michigan road lot when we run some of the southern trails in the park including the rock trail, Indian rock shelter, and bear rock petroglyph. Final course to be determined.

Hope to see you out there this weekend.

Thanks everyone for coming out to the Sarah Bishop Bushwhack last weekend. From what we’ve heard, you liked the changes we made to the course. We’re already planning on a few more tweaks for next year’s race so we hope to see you on Sunday, September 29, 2019 for the 7th running of the race. Meanwhile, enjoy our race recap video.
