April 15, Meadow Lot

On Sunday, April 15, at 8:00 a.m., we’ll be running from the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Meadow lot with two great options.

SUNDAY OPTION 1: JOHN JAY 5K

At 8:00 a.m., we’ll run from the Meadow Lot (or you can drive) to John Jay High School, 60 N Salem Rd, Cross River, and compete in a new 5k trail race to benefit the John Jay Cross Country team. Afterwards, we can run back and whatever miles you need. The course starts on the lower fields of the John Jay Campus and quickly goes into the wooded trails adjacent to the middle school and high school. Those interested in starting early, we’ll be making a series of loops on the hour starting at 5:00 a.m.

SUNDAY OPTION 2: MEADOW, MUSEUM, MICHIGAN LOOP

For those who don’t want to race the above, there’s the Meadow, Museum, Fire Tower, and Michigan Loop. This 6-mile course is the perfect tune-up for the Leatherman’s Loop which is only a week away. Get the map here ››

SATURDAY OPTION 1: SPRINGLETRACK

Springletrack is a 25-mile self-supported “fat-ass” run along the Shawangunk Ridge. The course will be able to return to the original, pre-fire course of the first 4 years. The 25 mile fat-ass (self supported) course begins at Mohonk Preserve Spring Farm Trailhead parking, 4147 N 39th St, 7, NY 12440, and ends at 11 Berme Rd, Ellenville, NY 12428.

SATURDAY OPTION 2: 8×4 LOOPS

On Saturday, April 14, at 7:00 a.m., if Springletrack is too far for you, meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Michigan Road lot for some loops—Michigan Road 8 x 5 mile loops to be exact. Show up anytime, run whatever loops you’d like. Todd will be there on a mission but you don’t need to try to keep up with him. This is the last weekend to get a long run in before Bear Mountain and the weather is supposed to be beautiful. Don’t miss it. More here ››

Hope to see you out there this weekend.
