Philly Runner Run

Below are two routes for our run tomorrow. Both start & end at Philly Runner in case people need to come back to their car or Center City for SEPTA. I think we'll be at Philly Runner for 45-60 mins. Weather's to be cold & clear:

1. 3 Miles (to and around Art Museum & back to PR): Head north on 16th St. Turn left onto Ben Franklin Parkway. Run to and up the Museum steps, around the building, down the steps and back the way you came. It's 1.5 miles out.

2. 6 Miles (to Fountain Green Dr & back to PR): Head north on 16th St. Turn left onto Ben Franklin Parkway. Run to and up the Museum steps to the back of the building, down the steps and past Lloyd Hall. Continue on Kelly drive until Fountain Green Drive (there's a statue of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and his horse to the right, across the street). Turn around and go back the way you came to PR.

For next Saturday, March 7th what do you think of meeting at the end of Forbidden Trail (off Northwestern Ave) and running in Wissahickon Park? It would be all trail running along Forbidden Drive and creek. It's wide, soft and quiet with 1 road crossing (Bell's Mill) and gradual ups and downs. I propose meeting at the trail head where Northwestern Ave, Andorra Rd & Thomas Rd all intersect - check it out on Google maps.

Please comment yay or nay and if you're willing to provide a ride.

(If it's a go I will bike out there meeting at Lloyd Hall time TBD. Other bikers welcome! It's between 10-11 miles with several hilly hills.)

Onward!!
