On Saturday, August 19, 7:00 a.m., meet at Lewisboro Town Park, Upper Lot, ready to run the Town Park to CB loop. This course offers distances from 5 to 8.6 miles but I suggest the 7.3-mile course and, while the map shows a bushwhack across from the Mill, I suggest turning down Michigan Road and […]

On Saturday, September 2, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Michigan Road Lot, ready to run the Big-O. This six-mile loop heads over Fox Hill to Blue and Raven Rocks before returning via Green. This is as close to a perfect circle as the trails in the Rez will yield. I'll post […]
