December 28, 2024 – Holiday Neighborhood Run

Do I have a special run for you! It is our tradition between Christmas and New Year’s Day, to have a run thru the neighborhoods. I have put together a route to hit some neighborhoods I have never run before. This year’s route will be mostly right hand turns with a couple of exceptions…

Way too many roads to name, but check out the map to see where I’m sending you.

Turn left out of the parking lot. The first right turn will be on Pine Hill Drive. At every intersection take the right option. Turn around at the end of cul-de-sacs.

Exceptions:

1) Do not turn onto Park Rd.

2) Do not turn into business lots.

3) Do not turn onto Woolston

4) When you come back up the hill from Whistlestop turn left on Fishers Rd.

5) Do not turn onto Benson.

6) When you get back to 96, turn left and return to the parking lot.

If you make it thru all the roads I have outlined in the map – the distance is 11.5 miles

Feel free to shorten any portion of the route!
