Proceed to the starting area. We plan to welcome runners at 9:30 am with an on time start at 9:45 am.
Running Trail…..for those of you that run trail races, we trust you will love this course…..for those that are new to trail running, please pay close attention to the ground, and be aware of rocks, roots, and loose footing….we recommend no headphones/music for safety and please do not pass runners where the trail is narrow …there are plenty of areas where it opens up to pass.
IMPORTANT: Please respect the trails and do not remove or clear any branches, logs or rocks from the trail; these trails are some of Westchester’s premiere mountain biking trails and we want minimal environmental impact.
STAY ON THE TRAIL COURSE IF YOU CAN’T CONTINUE! We will have volunteers following the slower runners. If for any reason you can’t continue, wait for assistance. The course will be very well marked so you should not have any issues finding the trail.
We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday.
