August 26, Meadow Lot

SUNDAY

This Sunday, August 26, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation ready to run a very special course. Let’s call this “Run the Numbers.” Starting at the meadow, run from intersection number to intersection number in order, starting at intersection one. If you run from one to ten, you’ll get around 7 miles. One to twenty will yield about 10 miles. Run all and you’ll be at around 45 miles but do note that some numbers in the 60s don’t exist. Looking to start early? We’ll start at 5:00 a.m. from the Meadow and run the numbers backwards from 39 to 31 We will meet anyone else at MICHIGAN ROAD at 7:00 a.m. and run 30 to 25 before heading back to the Meadow at 8:00.

SATURDAY

On Saturday, August 25, at 7:45 a.m., we will be running with Ben Drew and the New York Trail Series folks on the northern section of the Breakneck marathon course and maybe part of the 1/2 course. Meet at 7:45 a.m. at the disc golf/beacon pool parking lot at the Settlement Camp in Beacon, 724 Wolcott Ave, Beacon, NY 12508. We’ll begin this run at 8:00 a.m. and run up to the top of Mt Beacon, then run the Lamb’s Hill loop.

The run will be about 11-13 miles total. Expect a lot of elevation gain and to be out there for about 3-4.5 hours. Salomon rep, Michael DiBlasi, will be on-hand with Speedcross and Ride demo shoes to test out during the run.

This is a free event, but please use the link below to sign-up so we have a rough idea of how many people are running. https://goo.gl/forms/NyyZxXrVoOt6wP0k2

Enjoy the pic from the last run. No matter how long you ran or what trails you took, that was fun.
