The next FLRC group run will be this Saturday, August 17, at Kennedy State Forest, and will act as a preview for the Two Hollows Monster Marathon and Half Marathon race coming up on September 1. This is the perfect opportunity to get a feel for the course.
We’ll meet at the corner of Adams Road and Owego Hill Road in the town of Harford, NY (do not attempt to approach via Owego Hill Road from the north) at 9 AM and start running at 9:15 AM. Race directors will lead groups looking to complete the full 13.1-mile course or shorter distances based on completing the out and back loops in different ways (10 miles and 6.5 miles are also options). We will pass the start/finish where the cars are parked at 6.5 or 10 miles for anyone wishing to resupply or call it a day at that point. There will be post-run snacks available!
RunGo directions are available, so if you’re not running with someone who is 100% familiar with the trails, please use them. You can view them online and download them to the RunGo app on your smartphone or Apple Watch. Search for Two Hollows Monster.
Please do so before August 21 to avoid a $31 price hike, and so the race directors have the proper amount of food, finisher awards, and so forth on hand on race day. Also, we can always use volunteers for race day, so check out the Helper Helper opportunities and sign up today.
Note that the early morning setup volunteer slots will still allow you to run the half marathon race, if that works for you, and thanks so much! The trail Monster position (1 or 2 people!) is still open!
Please vote in the poll below by indicating your anticipated road-running pace so others can get a sense of who else will be running their pace. We always have a wide range of runners, so you’ll generally find someone to run with.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, ability, pace, or anything else. This is a free activity and club membership is not required, but please sign the waiver before your first run this year. You only need to sign the waiver once for all 2024 group runs, so if you’ve already signed it, you’re all set! (Check Webscorer to verify that you signed.)

- I need a ride
If you have questions or are interested in volunteering as a greeter/host for similar group runs, contact FLRC Group Run director Heather Cobb (cobb.heather.m@gmail.com). See you this weekend!
