On Saturday, December 21, at 7:00 a.m., bundle up and come run the Dancing Rockish run. This 7.5 mile run is a good preview of Sunday's Dancing Rock course but without most of the bushwhacks. As such, it's a much faster and less swampy run than what you'll have the following day. If you are […]
On Sunday, December 22, at 5:00 a.m., get ready to run a very special course—The Dancing Rock Ultra. This course revives a race created by Tony Godino and Dave Cope around the time the Loop was invented but adds a whole lot more. We'll run the initial perimeter loop first, then meet up with the […]
On Tuesday, December 24, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Michigan Road lot, and help me remediate the Dancing Rock course marking. We'll do one last sweep of the curse, picking up flags as we go. If you missed Sunday's run, this will be the last chance you'll have to run the […]
On Thursday, December 26, at 7:30 a.m., meet at the Hessian Lake Parking Lot, near the ice rink, at Bear Mountain and come prepared to run a special 9-mile loop on parts of the North Face Endurance Challenge course. Depending on conditions, it might be longer. No worries, the group will keep together sharing holiday […]
This Saturday, December 28, at 7:00 a.m, meet at Leon Levy Preserve in South Salem, parking lot entrance on Route 123 about half a mile south of Route 35. At 383 acres, this preserve is relatively small but I have a course that will get us up to 7 miles hitting most of the trails […]
On Sunday, December 29, at 8:00 a.m., meet at the Ward Pound Ridge Meadow Lot when we run the Meadow to Green Loop. This course heads to the Trailside Museum before circling around to Michigan Road. From there, take the Green trail, which is a sizeable hill, to some of the smaller, lesser-used trails in […]
On Tuesday, December 31, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Michigan Road Lot, when we run the final course of the year together. After another year of calling runs, I'm going to let someone else lead this one or we can take turns calling directions at each intersection as we go (because […]
On Wednesday, January 1, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Mountain Lakes Park, trailhead to lookout point, when we usher in the new year with Sarah Bishop. Well, not Sarah herself, but on some of the trails of the Sarah Bishop Bushwhack. And speaking of which, we'll do a little exploring while we're there. Start the […]
On Saturday, January 2, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Lewisboro Town Park ready to run the Five Bridges run. The 7.5 mile version of the run passes by five of the major bridges in the park so we'll aim for that distance. The weather looks like it will be cold and wet bo dress accordingly. […]
On Saturday, January 4, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Meadow lot ready to run the Meadow to Armstrong course. This 7-mile course starts in the reservation, then crosses over to Richard’s Preserve and Armstrong before returning back. The entire course is 7 miles but if you want to cut it short, […]
On Sunday, January 5, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Trailside Museum when we run the Museum to Blue route. We’ll be following the course in a counterclockwise direction but since the bridges are out, when you reach Kimberly Bridge, climb Blue and finish through the meadow. Options include 6.5, 7.5. and […]
Saturday, January 11, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Westmoreland Sanctuary on Chestnut Ridge Road in Mount Kisco when we run the 5.25 mile perimeter loop. This time, we run the course in a clockwise direction (against the arrows) and return to the main lot. Those who want an extra challenge can do the Butler loop […]
