The next FLRC group run is this Sunday, September 14, starting at the new 70-car parking lot at the north end of the Black Diamond Trail (BDT) close to Trumansburg. There is a fee to park in this lot, so carpooling options will be posted in the replies. We will meet at 8:30am and run at 8:45am. There will be several options for an hour-long run: 30 minutes out and 30 minutes back on the BDT, or meander in Taughannock park. Extend your morning with socializing, a delicious breakfast, and coffee/tea at @amy-dawson and @scottpdawson’s home (5 minutes away at 113 Larchmont in Trumansburg). Consider bringing some snacks to share. Anyone who’d enjoy an outdoor sauna is welcome to bring sauna apparel and towel, too.
Please RSVP below so we can plan food quantities. There will be people at various paces, and if you need a ride or have any questions, just reply to this post.
I’m coming to both the run and the extra socialization
I’m coming to the run, but can’t stay for the extra socialization

*ETA: I know it’s “socializing” and not “socialization” but I cannot edit the poll.
Neither FLRC membership nor FLRC Challenge participation is required, and everyone is welcome, regardless of pace, age, or bagel flavor preference. If you aren’t signed up for the FLRC Challenge, please sign the FLRC 2025 Training Programs waiver. You only need to sign once for all 2025 group runs, so if you’ve already done so, you’re all set—check here.)
Carpool: folks can park at Cass Park or in front of Scott and Amy’s house and carpool to the parking lot. I can take 3 people and pick up from either spot (or both!). I will be staying for the socializing after.
Hi Amy! Great question and I’ve updated the post to clarify. It’ll be an hour. If on the BDT, 30 minutes out and 30 minutes back. The park trails may be different due to terrain and different paces, but aiming for an hour.
We will make a breakfast sausage and egg casserole, along with coffee and tea. Also, if anyone wants to run longer (Amy and I are planning a total of 90 minutes of running), let me know. I plan on running the 3-mile rim trail at Taughannock starting at 7:40, and then out-and-back with the group on Black Diamond.
I’ll be walking on Sunday morning on the BDT, and I’d like to invite any @Challengers who are interested in brainstorming about the future of the Challenge to join me. (Yes, I have ideas!) I know this could conflict with the desire for a Sunday long run, but you could either run before and then walk with me and others, or do your run during the group run and then continue the discussion at Scott and Amy’s afterward.
I’ll be running (slowly) from Cass Park and meeting y’all at the top for the group run. Will be looking to hop a ride with someone back to Cass. If anyone wants to join on the slow run (~11:00+), I’ll be heading from Cass at 7am.

If anyone is planning to park at our house and carpool there, I wanted to point out that Amy and and I will be running beforehand, so we won’t be part of that carpool. You are welcome to park in our driveway, though!
