Trail Running in Prospect Park - Sunday, September 4

For most Brooklynites, trail running means taking the subway up to Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx or hitching a ride to Rockefeller State Park in Westchester County.  However, there are a number of off-road routes that you can run in our own Prospect Park.  It's important to remember that running in the woods alone is not advisable - particularly in the early mornings or evenings.  For runners who would like to try a trail route (similar to the one indicated below), join the regular PPTC group run, this Sunday morning, September 4 at 9am.  As usual, the group will meet at Grand Army Plaza.  Membership in PPTC is not required to join the run.
