SUNDAY

This Sunday, July 9, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Bennett’s Pond on the Ridgefield/Danbury border when we run a new course—the 10 mile Realander Run. Meet at the parking lot on Bennett’s Farm Road (see Google map) prepared to run this clockwise loop which includes some familiar trails and some new ones. If you want to get more miles in, at 5:00 a.m., we’ll pre-run the course, returning via the white trail. Anyone starting at 6:00 a.m. can follow the course to the end of the White trail and back. At 7:00 a.m., we’ll aim to complete the last section.

SATURDAY

APPALACHIAN TRAIL RUN: On Saturday, July 8, at 6:00 a.m., meet near 80 Macedonia Road, Kent, CT, when we run a portion of the Appalachian Trail. We’ll run south 7 miles, back to the start, then north 4.5 before returning. You have options of distances of 11, 14, and 23 miles with a fair amount of elevation. I’m good for the 14 and Joe Mo will be running the full 23. Anyone interested in sharing a ride for the 14 mile run can contact me. We could meet at the Lewisboro Town Park lower lot at 4:45 for the hour drive.

Or, if you want to stay closer to home, on Saturday, July 8, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Kimberly Bridge lot and run the Kimberly Bridge to Raven Rocks Run. You have options of 6, 7, and 8 miles or feel free to add the Rock Trail and perimeter for a 12 mile adventure. If you miss this, don’t worry, we’ll be back here soon on a Sunday. Bring your own maps in case I miss this.

SATURDAY

On Saturday, May 27, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Depew Court in Peekskill when we run the Blue Mountain Reservation Depew Court Perimeter Loop. This run is a little farther away but it will be worth the trip. Meet at the Depew Court Pool parking lot (1 Depew Ct. at Bay St, Peekskill, NY 10566) at 8:00 a.m. but leave a little extra travel time. There are options for making this shorter and once we’re back together, we’ll head over to Peekskill Coffee House at 101 South Division Street for a cup of joe. The perfect way to end the run. If you’re looking to start early, show up at 7:00 a.m. and get a few miles in first but bring your own maps today, I can’t guarantee I’ll be there.

SUNDAY

On Sunday, May 28, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Kimberly Bridge Lot when we run a new course on familiar trails—the Kimberly Bridge/Raven Rocks Loop. This course starts out on the beautiful Blue trail before climbing to Raven Rocks and returning via one of three courses depending on your distance. For those looking to do some hill work this weekend, meet at Kimberly Bridge starting at 5:00 a.m. for hill repeats up the Blue trail. Show up anytime and keep going until 8:00 a.m.

MONDAY

On Monday, May 29, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Devil’s Den, 3 Pent Road, Weston, Connecticut, for a 6-mile loop. Normally, this is a run reserved for Halloween but I think we should check it out in Spring. And plan to stop by Tusk & Cup for coffee and a bite to eat afterwards.

December 14, Mianus River Park

This Sunday, December 14, we’re running somewhere new—Mianus River Park on the Greenwich/Stamford border. This is NOT Mianus River Gorge so to make sure we don’t get lost before we start, we’ll meet at 7:40 a.m. in front of the Bedford Village Fire House and follow Tony for the short ride (about 15 minutes) to the park. The Mianus River Park parking lot is listed as 450 Cognewaugh Rd. in Cos Cob (Greenwich), CT 06807 and we should arrive there around 8:00 for those who want to meet there directly. We’ll run the outer loop which is about 5.5 miles and those who want can run another mile out and back to see a very special cave. You can learn more about Mianus River Park at friendsofmianusriverpark.org. See the park map here ››

Thanks to everyone who came out to the holiday party last weekend—you made it a lot of fun. Gerry and Eamonn would like to thank you as well, so in their own words:

Dear Harriers,
Eamonn and I cannot truly express the gratitude we have for the support you have given to us. The group has become a family for us and has touched us in a way will forever stay in our hearts (tho not in a good touch/bad touch way). It has been a gift to see how the group has welcomed and supported Eamonn every week.  The spirit of the group has carried him through the first two rounds of this journey, and will give him some added strength when he toes the line in Myrtle Beach. Hopefully, by the time we leave South Carolina, the people will know who the Sunday Runners are, either by Eamonn becoming all-American, or us blowing up a car.

Peace
Gerry

Hello Harriers,
Thank you so much for having the fund raiser for my trip. It meant a lot to me to see that every one was willing to help me go to nationals. I will run even harder for the group and every one who helped me make it to nationals. Thank you again and I will see all of you at the Sunday runs.

Eamonn P. Sullivan

 

Hope to see you all this weekend.
