FLRC Group Run in East Ithaca Saturday 9/3 @ 8:30am

The next Saturday FLRC group run is this Saturday, September 3rd, in East Ithaca on the Dryden Rail Trail . We will meet at the access road off of Stevenson Rd. at 8:30am and run at 8:45am. The trail out to Route 13 and back is 5 miles, but you can extend it by going to the East Hill Rec Way or running up Stevenson Rd.

Details: The FLRC Group Runs are held on the first and third Saturdays of each month. This is an out-and-back run, so you can’t get lost! The standard run is an hour (30 minutes out, 30 minutes back), which allows everyone to start together and end together. There will be post-run snacks available so please stick around after for socializing to get to know fellow runners and enjoy a delicious breakfast.

Please vote in the poll below 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 2022 group runs, so if you’ve already signed it, you’re all set! (Check Webscorer to verify that you signed.)

Let’s try to reduce the number of car trips to fight climate change. Vote if you need a ride or can give one, and post a reply with meetup ideas.

I’m only game for about 3 miles total Saturday, but look forward to seeing everyone at the start.

@dp625, where are you coming from such that a ride would be helpful?

I live in Ithaca, very close to the commons (but would want to run more than 3 miles, probably 6 if I had to cut it short).

Yeah, I’m not suggesting you’d want to run with me specifically (and I’m on the other side of town from you so can’t easily help with a ride). I just wanted to get your location into the discussion so someone who might be coming up from downtown could see that you needed a ride.

Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful morning for a group run! I count myself so lucky to call all of these humans my friends.

Missing from the picture is @Marschmi, @Iris, and @caitlin-loehr.

I started an hour early to get some extra miles and was greeted with this sunrise.
