RUNS FOR July 31 & August 1

Saturday, July 31, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Westmoreland Sanctuary on Chestnut Ridge Road in Mount Kisco when we run the 5.25 mile perimeter loop. This time, we run the course in a clockwise direction (against the arrows) and return to the main lot. Those who want an extra challenge can do the Butler loop across the street after the run. That will add another 3 to 5 miles. See the map ››

On Sunday, August 1, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Michigan Road Lot, ready to run the Michigan to Dancing Rock course. This loop starts with a climb to the Overlook then follows some of the lesser-used trails in the park. Options include 4.5, 6.6, 8 and 9 mile loops. Cobweb Crew starts at 5:00 a.m.; Early Risers at 7:00. Rookie Runners start at 7:00 a.m. for a shorter distance and easier pace.

On Friday, August 6, at 8:00 p.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Trailside Museum Lot, for a special Night Run. Dave Mann has reserved Lean-to 7 for us for the evening so come prepared to run, then sit back and chill at the campfire afterward. Lean-to 7 is near the Trailside Museum, up the hill from the Bergfield Picnic Area. We’ll start the run just at sunset and head to Michigan Road, Green Trail, and Raven Rocks before returning. The moon will be a waning crescent and will set just before sundown so this night run will be a dark one. Bring a headlamp, some food or drink for, you know, recovery, a couple of bucks to recoup the cost, and get ready for a fun evening.
