On Saturday, July 11, at 7:00 a.m. meet for a special run in the Catskills—the Slide Mountain/Burroughs Range Loop. This 14.5 mile loop offers 5,000 feet of elevation gain and crosses Slide Mountain (the highest peak in the Catskill range), Cornell, and Whittenberg. Meet at the Woods Bridge commuter lot in Katonah at 5:00 a.m. for the 2-hour drive to the start or you can meet at the Slide Mountain West Trail Head, 2027 Oliverea Rd, Phoenicia, NY 12464 (see Google Maps ››) at 7:00 a.m. We will make a counterclockwise loop starting shortly after 7:00 a.m. and finishing in the afternoon. Bring plenty of water, a filter if you have one, money, and a change of clothes so we can stop at the Phoenicia Diner afterward and eat all the foods. This is a challenging but fun adventure.
Looking for something closer to home? Meet at 7:00 am (6:00 am for Early Risers) at Michigan Road Lot and run the “Big O” course using the new Live Map. Neither Greg nor I will be in the Rez on Saturday so do the best you can.

Last time we ran this course was June 22, 2024
