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 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.

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 15, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Lewisboro Town Park, upper lot, when navigate the 9.6 mile Kessel Run.

On Saturday, December 14, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Michigan Road Lot and help flag next Sunday's Run. Since there are multiple bushwhacks on this run, I'll need to lightly flag the course so that you can find your way. If you'd like to give me a hand, meet me at […]

On Saturday, November 30, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Trailside Museum lot, when we run a new course—Trailside to Joe 7 mile loop. Those who've run with me for a while know that once the cold temperatures set it, I'm more inclined to do some exploring in the parks. For this […]

This Friday, November 29, at 8:00 a.m, meet at the Zofnass Family Preserve on Upper Shad Road in Pound Ridge (see Google Map) when we run everyone’s favorite labyrinthian preserve with a network of trails noted for its crags and rock outcrops.
