August 5, Lewisboro Town Park

SUNDAY

On Sunday, August 5, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Lewisboro Town Park Upper Lot when we run the Town Park to Overlook loop. Options include distances from under 5 miles to close to 8 miles. For those wanting some extra miles, arrive at 5:00 for an 8 mile loop or 7:00 for and additional 4. I don’t know about you but with all this rain, it’s about time for a great day of running.

SATURDAY

On Saturday, August 4, at 6:00 a.m., it looks like it will be raining, possibly a thunderstorm. As such, I’m going to hold off running any particularly challenging trails in the Catskills, so instead, meet at Michigan Road to run one of the Michigan Multiloops. Options include:
6:00 a.m. start: Run the 12 mile perimeter loop, head back around 9:00 a.m.
9:00 a.m. start: Follow the 8 mile loop or one of the shorter loops if you’re not up for 8 miles.

Also on Saturday, August 4, at 5:30 and 7:30 a.m., meet at the Depew Court lot at Blue Mountain and run the third annual Blue-Per Bowl run. Make one 7.5 mile loop starting at 5:30 a.m. and a second starting at 7:30 a.m. Join in for one or both loops and then head over to Peekskill Coffee House for some recovery food and drink. Kevin Rader will be on hand to make sure you find your way. See the map ››

Next week I’m working on a new long run for Saturday linking Devil’s Den to Saugatuck and Aspetuck trails in Connecticut. Also coming up is the Mt. Beacon Beast Loop. Some awesome runs to put on your calendars.

Hope to see you out there this weekend.
