We’ll run from the trailhead of the Kennedy Trail, cut through to Somers High School, then make our way to Reis Park.

Raven Lunatic
2024-01-07 08:00 - 10:00 | Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Meadow Lot, Reservation Road, Pound Ridge, NY, 10576, United States
On Sunday, January 7, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Meadow Lot ready to run the Raven Lunatic—The Raven Rocks course but with snow—because anyone who’s running on these trails has got to be a raven lunatic! We’re expecting snow Saturday night so this is going to be a particularly fun course but don’t worry, there are ways to shorten the run if the going gets too hard. Cobweb Crew gets a break this week to give time for road crews and shoveling; Early Risers start at 7:00. And use your best judgement whether roads are safe enough to get out. There will be plenty of other runs this year.
Rookie Runners start at 7:00 on a shorter course and easier pace.

Blue Moon Loop
2024-01-13 07:00 - 09:00 | Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Michigan Road Lot, Michigan Road, Pound Ridge, NY, 10576, United States
On Saturday, January 13, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Michigan Road Lot, ready to run a classic—The Blue Moon Loop. This course, courtesy of one of the Loop founders, Dave Cope, revives an old trail below the Leatherman’s Cave that is on the old Stroller’s Map but absent from more recent ones. We’ll be running the course in the opposite direction of the arrows on the map, putting the bushwhack early in the run. Depending on trail conditions, you can avoid the bushwhack and continue to intersection 27.

Workout Wednesday—Blue Hill Repeats
2024-01-17 05:30 - 07:00, 2024-01-24 05:30 - 07:00, 2024-01-31 05:30 - 07:00 | Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Kimberly Bridge, Reservation Road, Pound Ridge, NY, 10576, United States
Are you looking to amp up your running? Add hill repeats and speed work on Wednesdays at 5:30 a.m. This week, meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Kimberly Bridge Lot, at 5:30 a.m., for 90 minutes of Hill Repeats. At a 13% average incline, the Blue Hill segment is one of the steepest in the Rez and the perfect training ground for any upcoming race. The .6 mile uphill contains just over 400 feet of vertical gain while the downhill is a great quad-shredding exercise. If you need to train with poles, this is a good course to do so. We’ll aim for 4 or 5 repeats and see what we have left after that.

The Beast
2024-01-20 07:00 - 09:30 | Trailside Museum, Reservation Road, Pound Ridge, NY, 10576, United States
On Saturday, January 20, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Trailside Museum Lot, when we run a very special course—the Beast Loop. This course includes six bushwhacks through parts of the Rez most never visit so come prepared for some off-trail adventure. Early Risers start at 6:00 for an additional 4-mile loop before the run.

Kimberly Expedition
2024-01-28 08:00 - 09:30 | Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Kimberly Bridge, Reservation Road, Pound Ridge, NY, 10576, United States
On Sunday, January 28, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Kimberly Bridge Lot, ready to run the Kimberly Expedition. This course offers two loops—first head north and complete a 2.7-mile loop, then once back at Kimberly Bridge, choose one of three distances for the southern loop. Note that I’ve indicated a bushwhack from Red/Yellow that takes you to the base of a steep wall where there is a kind of “cave”. Not suggesting you take this, though, and you can continue on the Red/Yellow trail. Cobweb Crew starts at 5:00; Early Risers at 7:00. If the Kimberly Bridge lot is full, continue past the lot 100 yards to an additional lot on your left.
Rookie Runners start at 7:00 for a shorter distance and easier pace.
