February 10, Trailside Museum

SUNDAY

On Sunday, February 10, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Trailside Museum when we Run the Numbers. This unique run has runners connect the intersections of the park in order, sometimes crossing paths with other runners in the process. We’re going to start with intersection #9 and continue from there. If you make it to intersection #24, you’ll have around 6.5 miles. Intersection 30 will net you around 9 miles, but you’re free to finish all 70 if you’re up for a challenge—stop whenever you want. I’ll bring a few maps but you might want to print one at home just to make sure you get one. As usual, early birds can start at 5:00 for an 8 mile loop and 7:00 for another 4. See the map ››

SATURDAY

On Saturday, February 9, at 7:00 a.m., meet at the Teatown Nature center, 1600 Spring Valley Rd, Ossining, NY, when we run some of the Teatown Trails. Normally, we’d run the classic Teatown to Kitchawan 13 mile course but I’d like to have a look at some of the other trails there. Let’s start at the nature center and make a clockwise loop as shown, incorporating the Dam Road near the reservoir. Final total of this course is around 13 miles but you can adjust longer or shorter as necessary. These trails are non technical so this is a great way to get some early-season miles in quickly. Hope to see you there. Learn more here ››

Hope to see you out there this weekend.

Enjoy the photo of the crowd from last week’s Looper Bowl. Great to see so many out for this annual event.
