June 11, Meadow Lot

SUNDAY

On Sunday, June 11, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Meadow Lot and come ready to run the Raven Rocks Course. It’s never too early to start thinking about the fall races and here’s a chance to get an early preview of the Raven Rocks Run. Those wanting to start early—between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., let’s do some BR hill repeats from intersections 46 to 5. While not as steep as Blue, it will still give you a workout. At 7:00, we’ll meet back at the Meadow for the full BR loop.

SATURDAY

On Saturday, June 10, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Michigan Road Lot to run the Michigan to Kimberly Loop. We’ll first check on the campsite from the night run and collect anything left behind before heading out. If you’re looking for a longer run, take the longer way around the Blue trail and add a couple miles easily. If you’re looking for a later start, join the group at 8:00 a.m. at Kimberly Bridge. We should be passing through there about that time.

FRIDAY

On Friday, June 9, at 8:00 p.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, lean-to #5 (at Michigan Road) when we celebrate the next full moon—the Strawberry Moon. We’ll follow a new Sights and Heights course which includes the overlook, Raven Rocks, and the Fire Tower. We’ll leave just before sunset, so bring a headlamp. And after the run, plan to hang out by the fire, maybe bring some snacks, refreshments, etc. Should be fun.

Hope to see you out there this weekend.
