Where the Pavement Ends and More

Where the Pavement Ends

On Sunday, September 12, 7:30 a.m., run Where the Pavement Ends, a fun and challenging 4-plus miles of sometimes narrow, sometimes hilly, always beautiful trails. It is a great mix of fire road, single track, flats, hills, and one fast downhill section right towards the end. Park at the Ridgebury School, Ridgefield, CT and walk over the Serfilippi Field, ready to run at 7:30 a.m. Looking for a longer run? Make it a double. This year’s race includes a double loop starting at 6:30 a.m. The course is marked with flags but you might want to bring a map anyway. Learn more and register ››

Rookie Runners This is great race for rookies who never competed on trails before. Just be careful with your footing.

Not Racing Today? Feeling a Little Blue?

Come out and cheer everyone on or head over to the Rez, Kimberly Bridge Lot, at 8:00 a.m. and run the Blueathlon. What’s that you ask? See how many blue hill repeats you can run. The turnaround is marked by a stake about .6 miles and 400 feet of gain from the start of the blue trail. Or if you want a more civilized run, try the Kimberly Blue Route. Cobweb Crew (5:00) and Early Risers (7:00) will be there I’m sure but bring your own maps, I’m out this weekend.
