Organiser's Description
WEEKEND GROUP RUNS
We are expanding our group run offerings. We will always hold a "MEET THE ROAD RUNNERS" run at Rockland Lake on the THIRD SUNDAY of every month. That run is particularly good for beginning runners or those new to the club looking for running buddies as there will always be someone there from Club Leadership and we'll make sure NO ONE RUNS ALONE, whatever your pace.
We will add additional group runs whenever we have a club volunteer to lead one. Typically, those will also be at Rockland Lake at the same time and place, but we may vary that in the future. Make sure you are registered so you get the e-mail notifications which will be sent out on Friday morning so you can plan your weekend. If you would like to lead a weekend group run, let us know using the contact button below.
At Rockland Lake, we meet at Parking Field #6 (colloquially known as the "Fishing Station"). That's where runners from around the county typically gather, so it's a great opportunity to meet potential training partners. Parking is free if you enter before 8:00 AM. In Google Maps, use Plus Code "43VC+9W Valley Cottage, New York"
We usually run one or more loops of the inner path, clockwise around the lake. The first loop will be "all abilities" and we'll make sure no one gets left behind. After that, you are free to join a pace group that suits you and do extra loops or venture onto the outer roadway. There's sure to be someone there who knows the routes.
REGISTER JUST ONCE FOR ALL THE GROUP RUNS IN 2025.
