December 31, 2022 – Holiday Neighborhood Run

This year’s holiday run will take place in the neighborhood bounded by Kreag Rd, Rt. 31, Moseley and Garnsey

Start with a left out of the parking lot, turn left on Garnsey, then left onto Sully’s Trail. From this point on, at any intersection turn right.Now begin with only right hand turns. This includes turning right onto dead ends. When you reach the dead end, turn around and continue.

When running done a dead end, turn around when you meet the lead runner. If this works out as planned, we should all end the run near the same time.

When on Garnsey and you reach Sully’s Trail – then continue straight to 96 and return to the parking lot.

If you do not turn down the dead ends – you can cut the route to 7.4 miles
