On Sunday, August 6, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Trailside Nature Museum Lot, ready to run the Trailside, Raven to Tower loop. We'll all head up everyone's favorite way to start a run—The Fox Hill climb—and then take some of the less-traveled trails from Michigan Road. Options include 4.5, 6, or […]
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 […]
On Saturday, August 12, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Mountain Lakes Park, Hemlock Lake Beach Parking Lot, when we run a variation of the Sarah Bishop course that meanders through much of the park. This version takes a turn that we haven't used since the early days of the race but keeps the best parts […]

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 […]

The entire Challenge starts at 5:00 a.m. but you can start whenever you want, including 8:00 a.m. This course consists of a series of 4-mile (approximate) clockwise loops in the Rez that can […]

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 […]
