Trail Run @ Ruffner Park - 9am


For open gym today, we're going to do something a little different. We are going to meet at Ruffner Park for a trail run. There are a number of different trail types at Ruffner, so you can either pick a shorter run of about 20-30 minutes or a longer run of up to 2 hours. We will meet in the parking area of Ruffner Park at 9 a.m., and we will start "running" at 9:15 a.m. to include any stragglers that are missing this message. There will be a note posted on the gym door for those that don't check the blog. If you have never been to Ruffner, it's a great area for hiking and trail running, and the weather is perfect right now for getting outdoors!

Directions:

Take Oporto-Madrid towards East Lake. Turn right onto Rugby Drive. There are "Ruffner Park" signs directing you to the Park entrance. After you turn onto Rugby, there are a couple of turns so be on the lookout for the directional signs. If the gate to the parking area is closed, simply park at the bottom of the hill of the entrance and we'll meet at the closed gate. If the gate to the parking area is open, park in the upper lot and we will meet there before heading out. If you've never been to the park, all of this will make sense once you there.

Questions? Need to contact the coach because you're running late? Call or text Cori at 404-735-0822. She will have her phone on her until 9:15 a.m.
