February 24, 2018 – Canal, canal, canal

February 24, 2018 – Perinton Bike Hike Way and Ayrault Rd

SAVE THE DATE: March 10, 2018 – Around the Bay

In honor of this being the last weekend that the bridge over the canal at Marsh Rd is open for the next 6 months, I thought we should run a route that starts and ends on the canal.

Head out the canal towards Fairport. Take the pedestrian bridge across the canal after you pass by Turk Hill, which puts you on the Perinton Bike Hike Way.

For 10.3 miles, turn right on Ayrault Rd, then return to the basin on the canal.

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!
