9 days to the Christmas Light Run (or Walk!)
December is flying by which means the annual Christmas Light Run is coming up fast. While we call it a run, we welcome walkers, too and will have group leaders for all abilities.
All ages and abilities are welcome.
Reflective gear is mandatory (we do have some available to borrow).
Santa hats and ugly Christmas sweaters are more than welcome.

New York Central Fitness Trail parkrun
Eight runners joined us for New York Central Fitness Trail parkrun No. 137 this week. Parkrun regular, Dave Sadler, fully embraced his tail walker role this week by bringing a tail along with him. Four-legged participant, Harvey, seemed to really enjoy himself.
Check out the run report for all the details.
