New York’s Mid-Hudson region has entered Phase 4 of reopening.
We will continue to maintain safe practices to prevent any potential spread of Coronavirus. I’ll bring a camera to take a group photo but you can probably stand a little closer than last week if you, and the people around you, feel comfortable.
- Maintain social distancing before, during, and after the run
- Run abreast where possible to keep out of each other’s slipstreams
- Stagger start times, courses, and directions to maintain smaller groups
- Wear masks or buffs/neck gaiters when in the parking lots and when you see others on the trail even if they don’t do the same.
Hope to see you out there this weekend.

Congratulations to everyone who completed some or all of the McArthur Multipark (Ultra)Marathon. The final full course was measured at just over 50k. And great to see this group out on Sunday though I can tell Saturday’s run took its toll. Hope to see you all next weekend.

Slide Mountain (Burroughs Range) Loop
July 11, 2020 @ 7:30 am - 3:00 pmPhoenicia, NY 12464 United States + Google Map
On Saturday, July 11, meet for a special run in the Catskills—the Slide Mountain/Burroughs Range Loop. This 14.5 mile loop offers 5,000 feet of elevation gain and crosses Slide Mountain (the highest peak in the Catskill range), Cornell, and Whittenberg. Meet at the Woods Bridge commuter lot in Katonah at 5:30 a.m. if you'd like to caravan for the 2-hour drive to the start or you can meet at the Slide Mountain West Trail Head, 2027 Oliverea Rd, Phoenicia, NY 12464 (see Google Maps ››). We will make a counterclockwise loop starting shortly after 7:30 a.m. and finishing in the afternoon. You can see the course map here, complete with .gpx and .kml files. Bring plenty of water, a filter if you have one, and a change of clothes so we can stop at the Phoenician Diner afterwards and eat all the foods. This is a challenging but fun adventure.

July 12, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pmPound Ridge, NY 10576 United States + Google Map
On Sunday, July 12, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Michigan Road Lot ready to run the Michigan to Spy Rock 7 Mile Loop, or as I like to call it, The Stairmaster. This course starts up the FH trail and heads over the Magic Stairs before turning south past Castle Rock and up The Stairs to Spy Rock. Early birds can start at 6:00 and 7:00 and I suggest making it a speed workout by trying to complete the 5+ mile Red loop on hour intervals.
