Good day, runners!

I’ve renewed our agreement with Ithaca High School to allow FLRC members to run on the IHS track on weekday mornings from 6 AM to 8 AM, starting April 7, 2025. Weekends are not included because IHS doesn’t have staff working then to unlock the track. Also, these days are not available: April 14-18, May 26, and June 19.

Note that the IHS track is available only to FLRC members, so if you plan to run on it, please make sure you’re a club member . There’s no need to sign in or do anything special, but if you’re asked about running on the track during those hours, reply that you’re an FLRC member using the access arranged with ICSD. (And let me know afterward.) If the gates aren’t open at 6 AM—the custodians have to become accustomed to opening them—let me know so I can pass it on.

Remember that we are guests on this track, and school and team activities take precedence. If there’s a team on the track or practicing in the infield (especially lacrosse, whose errant balls are dangerous), please run elsewhere that day. There shouldn’t be early-morning conflicts, but you never know.

We hope you enjoy your morning track access!

Hey Adam, I did a few laps at the track this morning, but the grounds guys stopped me to ask what I was doing. I told them about the FLRC agreement with the IHS, and they seemed familiar with it but weren’t sure because they hadn’t seen anyone else running yet and perhaps the policy was poorly communicated to them. They seemed to understand and no one should have any issues now. Thanks for setting up the access

Thanks, @tphelps! I think @Brian might have been out a few times, but I can easily imagine them not having seen him.

I’m glad to hear they were cool with it, though, since it saves me some email messages to IHS. :slight_smile:

I wanted to note that ICSD claims that the track will now be open from 6 AM to 8 AM every weekday without us having to negotiate it repeatedly. If you run there and find it closed, please let me know so I can follow up with ICSD.
