The Fingerlakes Runners Club has decided to host some Cross-Country training runs to prepare for the Fall season. Anyone who is interested in running on grass and trails is welcome to join us. We will be running a time clock for those interested in their times, and we encourage you to keep track of your own as we call them out.
We'll be meeting in the parking area above the Ithaca College Track. Go in the circle entrance at IC, take a right at the circle, go up the hill, take a right at the sharp V as if going to the towers, and a sharp right to a parking lot and athletic facility.
The wheel measured 5k course consists of most elements encountered in cross-country running: grass, dirt, stone, trails, wooded area, mud, field, and hills. The IC Coach has graciously offered to mark the course and help wherever he can.
We'll be meeting on Thursdays at 6:00PM each evening, start time will be 6:30PM.
The final Time Trial scheduled for Thursday, Aug 26th will be your opportunity to see the wonderful XC course set up by Joe Reynolds in Watkins.
Directions to Watkins Glen course: Take Route 79 out of Ithaca and follow signs toward Watkins Glenn. Once in town, make a left at the third traffic light and head toward the Watkins Glen State Park. Bypass the first entrance and make a right at the Red Apple Gas Station to drive up the hill, make a right at the Y to enter the park at the top. Once in the park, follow the circle and make a left up the hill toward the camping area, make your second left into the parking area at the top. The course will be well marked throughout grass trails in the surrounding area, feel free to bring spikes.
If you find after running the time trials that you love running cross-country and would like to join our team for the Fall, please let me know (kag22@cornell.edu). We will be participating in the UpstateNY Cross-Country Series beginning in September; more information on this series can be found at www.GVH.net. For anyone interested in marking those dates on their calendar, they are as follows:
The High Noon group currently recruits men and the Fingerlakes Runners
Club recruits women for all three divisions: Vet-over 50, Master-40-50,
and Open-under 40 years old.
