    New York’s Mid-Hudson region has entered Phase 4 of reopening but new cases on on the rise. 

    We will continue to maintain safe practices to prevent any potential spread of Coronavirus. I’ll take a group photo but please remain socially distanced and wear a buff or mask when in proximity to others on or off the trail. 

    • 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.

    On Sunday, November 8, at 8:00 am., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River, NY, when we run the Snowy Owl Run. Sadly, the Raven Rocks Run has been cancelled but come out and run the Snowy Owl run, following all standard COVID-19 safety protocols of masks and social distancing. And make sure you've completed the contact information on the home page prior to the run, thanks. Early risers can start at 5:00 for a first loop and 6:30 for a second so you can go for the raven triple crown.

    Rookie Runners arrive at 7:00 for a shorter course and easier pace.

    Hope to see you out there. Lee Willett

    The Raven 100k Challenge is simple: first, register for the challenge. Then run, hike, or walk 100k during the month of November 2020. You can register as late as November 15 and enter your mileage to date when you register. This works out to an average of around 3k per day or 25k (15 miles) per week. But if you want to run 100k in one go, have at.

    When you sign up, we will send you your Raven Challenge Gift. If you complete the challenge, you will receive a wooden finisher medallion. Shirts are optional.

    The Raven 100k Challenge supports the Friends of Trailside Museum and Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, a 501(c)3 not for profit organization based at the Trailside Museum at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation.

    You can also join the Friends of Trailside Museum and Ward Pound Ridge Reservation for 2021 membership during signup.[/vc_column_text][mk_button dimension=”flat” size=”medium” url=”https://runsignup.com/Race/NY/CrossRiver/RavenRocksRun”]Register Now[/mk_button][/vc_tab][/vc_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
