This Sunday, August 23, at 8:00 a.m., meet at a new location on the Ridgefield/Danbury border—Bennett’s Pond—when we run an epic 10.5 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 6.5-mile 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 7:00 a.m. See the Sunday map here ››

Anyone looking to run on Saturday, August 22, at 8:00 a.m. can meet at Graham Hills Park in Mount Pleasant, NY (see Google map), for a 5-ish mile loop on trails that wind through many diverse habitats in this 431-acre park. Trails are mostly single track and are shared with mountain bikers. Bring your own map and have fun. See the Saturday map here ››

And don’t forget to register for the upcoming fall races:
Where the Pavement Ends, Sunday, September 20
Sarah Bishop Bushwhack, Sunday, September 27
Run The Farm, Sunday, October 25

Hope to see you out there this weekend.
