RUN RSVP: Saturday April 18

This week we are going to change things up for the weekend run. Once again, Gerry has offered to host a run from his house. If you have been to Tracy's before for a hill run, you are a stone's throw from Gerry's House. In fact you finish running that hill. We have a big loop planned, and Gerry is going to put a cooler out about half way, so it is very important you RSVP.

Run Details:

  • Day: Saturday @ 7:00 am
  • Where: Battleboro - Gerry's House
  • Route: 12 miles or 8.3 miles
  • Supported: Yes - One Fluid Stop
  • Weather: Forecast
This is a 12 mile loop Gerry uses. I made the shorter loop for anyone planning to run less. If you need directions, click on "Notes" when you view the map. These are very simple to run because they are big single loop routes. If you think you might need more fluids, please carry a bottle with you. This is a fun and quite route. The roads are long, and the traffic is very light. Don't let a new location keep you away. . . get excited about something different!

Gerry lives in Battleboro, but it is only about an 8-minute drive from the Harris Teeter. When you RSVP, please let us know if you need directions and we will email them. Gerry if you prefer to post directions in the comments, that is fine. I did not want to put directions online without your permission.

Please post a comment with your distance and pace. Marine Corp Marathon runners (all 28 of you) are welcome to join!

    I'm scheduled to run 13 tomorrow. Probably a 9:15 to 9:30 pace. I'm up for trying something new, but I hesitate to come to unfamiliar territory unless I have someone to run with. So, I may depend on who else is running. Kinnie

    Directions:

    1) Take Halifax Road

    2) Continue past Smiths on Halifax Rd and take the 1st Left after crossing over I-95, this is Jo Ellen Rd

    3) Take Jo Ellen to Stop Sign (Road T's) and turn right on Red Oak - Battleboro Rd

    4) Go approximately 300 yards and take first left which is Barnhill Farm Rd

    5) Drive is 3rd drive on left, Sign says Felton. House is thru the woods.

    It really is only about 8-minutes from the Teeter.

    Yes - he has a very long driveway, tucked back in the woods. Plenty of space.

    Tracy H. I really would like someone to push me the whole 12 or 13. (I'm tired!) However, Patti is running 60 min.s from the Teeter in the a.m. - don't know her time schedule though. You could give her a call. kp

  12. I'll be there--at least for the short loop--running somewhere between a 8:45 - 9:30 pace. If I'm feeling good when I get to Wollet Mill, I may just keep running on into Red Oak and complete the 12.
