Sunday Morning Training Runs....

We meet bright and early (and in any kind of weather) on Sunday mornings at the Leonardo  First Aid Station (aka "The Clubhouse"!)  (From Sandy Hook, take Hwy. 36 toward the Garden State Parkway (GSP), turn right onto Thompson Ave. in Leonardo and left onto Viola.  The station will be on your left.  From GSP Exit 117, go about 8 miles and take the Hosford jughandle (just past Academy Bus on your right), turning back onto 36 going in the opposite direction, and follow the above directions.  Note that if you are coming from the GSP, you will see a Thompson Ave. in Keansburg.  This is not the one you want!)  Groups generally run from 6 to 15 miles (sometimes farther!) at various paces.  Start time is 8am from Labor Day thru Memorial Day, then 7am for the Summer.  The course can be hilly or flat, (if you run along the Henry Hudson Trail), and is shaded and scenic with a mix of paved and gravel surfaces, as well as routes through Huber and Hartshorne woods on rough dirt trails.  Water and bathrooms are available at the First Aid Station and on course.  Afterwards, we feast on smoothies, bagels, pizza, soup, crumb buns and other goodies.  Call the NJRRC Hotline (732-578-1771) if it will be your first time at the Sunday Run!
