Start: Kew Garden Hills, Queens
Finish Dix Hills, Suffolk
Running thru Long island
Pros: If you hate loops! Hilly as hell when you hit Suffolk/Nassau border
Cons: MUST PLAN BETTER route, Car route/service road in Long island has no sidewalk or even any space for running. Long island drivers are all assholes (why you honking??), Not alot of places to but food/water, must bring own supply.

I said "Gangsta Pose" not the complete opposite!
(Sam, Rich, T)
So besides the Northface race thatran thru all the peaks of Harriman State Park (West side), this is the 5th Peak I hit
Best Picture of the day!
Guest Appearance R.Wong
Hey SlackJaw, Its not everyday you pose, Karate Kid style on a rock, on top of a Mountain. The Mountain has spoken!
We really come here to fight, since it's still illegal in NY.
(We fight Matrix Style)

Main Bear Mtn Trail (without going thru Doodletown and the Brindle PAth)
Miles: 2.5)
Elevation climb :1100ft +
Pros: Trail head starts at main Bear Mtn Park (with bbq pits, lake and bathrooms), The completion of the giant stones this year makes for a easy 101 hike for a 1100 ft climb, hard to get lost, great views, free parking.
Cons: Easy hike attacts many hikers making it not as adventurous, this side has very few wildlife to explore, Can hit the peak and back down within 2hrs.
...as usual feel free to email me for directions or you would like to join me on the next hike.

By far the most fun I ever had on a run. I highly suggest this for all runners and non runners. I plan to come back and do it again next year. I had orginaly signed up for the single race but Jonathan had a man drop out on his team of 4 race in the afternoon so I ran twice.
Dont ask, I dont know How Jonathan can talk me into ANYTHING!
The muddy Grand Finish...Note the tiny yellow Ducks in the Mud...Yep one followed me home!
Team finish Video (Yep, I ran with the camera most of the way)
Alex's Trail run (To the beat of Journey)
Sam's Trail run (To the beat of Huey Lewis and the News)

Cons: No time chip or gun time, No running shwag, Mud pits were sandy (dont drag ur knees), Dont wear clothes or sneakers you plan to keep.
