January 13, 2018 – Run Cancelled

January 13, 2018 – Run Cancelled

The forecast for overnight Friday into mid-day Saturday is not good for travel or running. I am going to break with tradition and recommend everyone sleep in this week. Roads will most likely not be plowed, making both driving and running dangerous.  I am guessing plows will be circulating while we would be running.       

I doubt the canal will be runnable either.

For those who insist on coming out – you are on your own. Be safe!

January 6, 2018 – Roads around Powder Mills Park

Given the forecast for the weekend with extreme cold, snow and wind, I thought we should keep it short and try to pick a route that is somewhat sheltered.

Turn left out of the parking lot. Turn right on Park Rd, then left on Corduroy. Turn right on Woolston, then turn left on Railroad Mills. At the tee intersection with Probst, turn left to continue on Railroad Mills. Turn left on Fishers Rd, then left on Woolston.

For 6.5 miles – turn right on Corduroy, right on Park Rd then left on 96 and return to the parking lot.

If you want something longer- you can run around the Corduroy-Woolston-Railroad Mills-Park Rd block again – it adds 3 miles.
