July 2, Meadow Lot

On Sunday, July 2, at 8:00 a.m., meet at the Ward Pound Ridge Meadow Lot when we run the Meadow to Green Loop. This course heads to the Trailside Museum before circling around to Michigan Road. From there, take the Green trail, which is a sizeable hill, to some of the smaller, lesser-used trails in the Southern portion of the park. While I have the trail marked to cross Michigan Road and catch the CB trail, I recommend taking the alternative route past the park office, maybe even to the Br trail and return via FH to the Meadow. Options include an additional half mile down LL and up to the Overlook or you can make the run shorter by eliminating the Green trail. Anyone looking to start early can arrive at 5:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., or 7:00 a.m. for a few extra miles.

UPDATE: if you’re coming for the 5:00 a.m. or 6:00 a.m. run, bring a map. After running the Escarpment trail on Saturday, it’s overly optimistic that I’ll be there before 7:00 on Sunday. Have fun.

On Saturday, Saturday, July 1, I’m planning on running the Escarpment course. Final plans are being set so let me know if you’re interested ››

On Tuesday, July 4, at 8:00 a.m., meet at the Lewisboro Town Park upper lot when we run to Raven Rocks (or as far as you want to go). No maps, no set course. Just trails. And no possibility of getting off-map!

Hope to see you out there this weekend.
