On Saturday, May 4, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Lewisboro Town Park, Upper Lot, ready to run the Kessel Run. This out-and-back course is nine non-technical miles on some of the fastest trails in the Rez so you’ll be able to stretch your legs and gain some speed. If you’re not up for the full distance, turn around whenever you want for a shorter run. Early Risers start at 6:00 and return to the lot at 7:00. May the fourth be with you!

This Sunday, May 5, at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Meadow lot, when we run the Meadow to Rock Trail Loop. We’ll head south from the meadow up the CB trail and make one of three loops before returning via FH, the Magic Stairs, and Trailside Museum. In between, you’ll see Dancing Rock, Bear Rock Petroglyph, Spy Rock, the Stairs, Castle Rock, Raven Rocks, Indian Rock Shelter, and plenty more rocks along the way. If you’re looking for something less ambitious, there are 4 and 6-mile loops as well.
Cobweb Crew starts at 5:00 a.m.; Early Risers at 7:00 a.m. for added distance.
Rookie Runners start at 7:00 for a shorter distance and easier pace.

GOALS
Looking for some runs and races to set your sights on? For starters, there’s the Trail Mix Series including the Leatherman’s Loop, Mild Sprain, Where the Pavement Ends, Run the Farm, Paine to Pain, and Raven Rocks Run.
While our Big List of Races hasn’t been updated for a while, many of the races are still on but check with the individual race websites to confirm. If you’re looking for longer races, check out our list of 100-mile races.
Other regional races that might be of interest are: September 30, Cat’s Tail Marathon; October 22, Bimblers Bluff 50k (conflicts with Run the Farm); and in early November, Pocantico Hills Marathon and Half Marathon.
Looking for something epic that’s not a race? Let’s talk about the North East Ultra 8—eight seriously epic single-day runs in the northeast. I’ve done three of these already and would love to knock off the Great Range Traverse this year though time is running out in the season and we may need to postpone until next year.
I’m looking forward to another exciting and fun year on the trails with you all.
Just a reminder, it’s tick season. Shower and check your skin over after runs, use a bug spray with Deet on your shoes, legs, and arms before a run, and I recommend light-color calf sleeves that have been sprayed with permethrin and allowed to dry. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of doxycycline.
WELCOME ROOKIE RUNNERS
We’re welcoming new runners onto the trails through the Rookie Runners Program. On Sundays at 7:00 a.m., runners new to the trails will run with a trail ambassador who can answer any questions and help to make the run an easy and enjoyable event. Then, when you’re ready, join the group at 8:00 for the full run. If you’ve wanted to start running trails but were intimidated, this is your chance to get involved. Learn more here ››SHOP
