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 […]

The course is a 4-mile out-and-back with a vertical climb of 1,500 feet. While similar in incline to Blue, the two-mile uphill is a good test of endurance. Those who […]
On Sunday, September 10, 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 […]
