The Beast
2022-01-22 07:00 - 09:30
On Saturday, January 22, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Trailside Museum Lot, when we run something new and different—the Beast Loop. We’ll be doing a bit of fell (off-trail) running, finding some paths that were on old trails or maps and exploring along the way. I gotta tell you, it’s not going to be easy and cleats or at least good lugged shoes are recommended.

2021-11-27 07:00 - 09:00
On Saturday, November 27, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Trailside Museum, when we run the Museum to Blue route. We’ll run this in a counterclockwise direction heading out on the Orange Trail first. If you have sharp eyes, you’ll see that I’ve made a mistake and labeled the blue and orange routes as 7 and 8 miles though they’re identical. Let’s run that so we know what the distance is so I can fix this map.

Trailside To Tower
2021-09-26 08:00 - 10:00
On Sunday, September 26, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Trailside Museum Lot, when we run the classic Trailside to Tower course. This course starts off up the gradual slope of the Orange Trail before splitting into one of four distances from 5 to 9 miles. But as the name suggests, all distances climb to the Fire Tower so you know you’ll get some elevation in. Cobweb Crew starts at 5:00 a.m. for 8 miles; Early Risers start at 7:00 for an additional 4.
Rookie Runners start at 7:00 a.m. for a shorter course and easier pace.

Night Run
2021-08-06 20:00 - 23:00
On Friday, August 6, at 8:00 p.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Trailside Museum Lot, for a special Night Run. Dave Mann has reserved Lean-to 7 for us for the evening so come prepared to run, then sit back and chill at the campfire afterward. Lean-to 7 is near the Trailside Museum, up the hill from the Bergfield Picnic Area. We’ll start the run just at sunset and head to Michigan Road, Green Trail, and Raven Rocks before returning. The moon will be a waning crescent and will set just before sundown so this night run will be a dark one. Bring a headlamp, some food or drink for, you know, recovery, a couple of bucks to recoup the cost, and get ready for a fun evening.

On Sunday, October 18, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Trailside Nature Museum, ready to run the Trailside to Town Park Loop.

Some of these bushwhacks are on December’s Dancing Rock Run so if you’re looking to learn about that run, join me.

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.

While the Dancing Rock Run includes part of Joe’s Hill, we’ll push a little farther west to the top of it where most of you have never been. There are a couple of other bushwhacks on the course as well so this may not be one of your fastest seven-mile runs.
