November 19, Leonard Park, Mt. Kisco

This Sunday, November 19, at 8:00 a.m., meet at the gazebo at Leonard Park in Mt. Kisco (see map) when we tackle some different trails. We’ll start in Leonard park, go through Marsh Sanctuary, Merestead, Butler, and Westmoreland Sanctuary. Runners will have a choice of various distances. I went through the first part of the course today and trimmed back the overgrowth. As usual, it’s very sparsely marked. Anyone interested in starting early can arrive at 5:00 a.m. for a few extra miles or at 7:00 a.m. for an out-and-back to Merestead. If you’re there early, bring a map—I’ll be there at 8:00.

5 Mile Run: Take the course through Marsh and Merestead to the Butler loop.
7.7 Mile Run: Follow the Butler loop which adds 2.7 to the run for a total of 7.7 miles.
10 Mile Run: Cross the road to Westmoreland Sanctuary for a short loop.
13.1 Mile Run (approx): Anyone interested in going farther can try the Leonard Park to Westmoreland Greenbelt Half Marathon which adds the perimeter course of Westmoreland. And if you know how to get to the Meyer Preserve, you can make this run even more epic.

On Saturday, November 18, at 8:45 a.m., enjoy the first ever “Conquer the Forest” event: a challenging run through the open fields and forest trails of Green Chimneys’ Clearpool campus. Learn more or register ››

Great job everyone on last week’s Raven Rocks Run. I was under the weather and missed all of you. Hope to see you out there this weekend.
