October 28, Meadow Lot

SUNDAY

On Sunday, October 28, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Meadow Lot and come ready to run the Raven Rocks Course. Here’s your chance to get a preview of the Raven Rocks Run on November 11. Those wanting to start early can arrive at 5:00 for an eight-mile loop or 7:00 for a four-mile loop. This will be the only course check for the race so if you want a preview, this is it.

SATURDAY

On Saturday, October 27, at 7:00 a.m., meet at 33 Clearpool Road, Carmel, when we preview the Conquer the Forest 5K course. Meet at the dining hall parking lot—the blue parking symbol on the map—ready to run the 5K course which has just about every type of terrain anyone could want in a race: long gradual slopes, lakeside trails, undulating hilltops, remote meadows, technical rocky trails, and open fields. Anyone interested in more of an adventure can head out again and take a bushwhack over to Nimham Mountain to the Fire Tower. It looks like Saturday’s run will be a wet one but it’s on nonetheless. You may want to print your own map, though, in case I can’t make it there. Download the PDF ››. Learn more and register for the race ››

Hope to see you out there this weekend, or Tuesday for our final Trail Tuesday of the year.

Congratulations to everyone who ran the farm last week. Sorry I didn’t get more of you in the picture but I’ll do better next week.
