November 4, Lewisboro Town Park

SUNDAY

This Sunday, November 4, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Lewisboro Town Park Upper Lot when we run a new variation of  The Crazy 8 Run. This 8-mile, figure-8 course will take us on the Blue trail and over the fire tower. But this version replaces the original direction so you’ll be going up the new  Blue trail and taking a slight bushwhack from the side trail after the Fire Tower to get back to Blue. If you’re not up for the full distance, turn back at Kimberly Bridge for a respectable 4.5 mile run. Early birds can start at 5:00 a.m.or 7:00 a.m. for an 8-mile and 4-mile loop respectively.

There are a couple of races on Sunday as well—Hidden Valley 15k and Conquer the Forest 5k—so you have some great options for the weekend.

SATURDAY

On Saturday, November 3, at 7:00 a.m., meet at the Redding Train Station (3 Long Ridge Road, Redding, CT) ready to run the 17 mile Ives Trail. We’ll take as few cars as necessary to Bennett’s Pond where we’ll start the run at around 7:15. This is a self-supported 17 mile course stretching from Ridgefield to Redding and we’ll explore a new section near the end that avoids one road in favor of more trails. If you’d like to meet us along the way instead of doing the full run, let me know and I can give you some options. See the map here ››

Enjoy the photo from the last run at the Meadow. Make sure you’re registered for the Raven Rocks Run—last of the Trail Mix Series of races this year.
