Palisades Trail Run + Lunch at Mitsuwa

  • 20 Grand Army Plaza NY, 11238 United States (map)

Getting a little tired of running the same old parks, streets and bridges in NYC? Looking for a change of scenery? Wondering what trail running is all about? Looking to burn off a few calories in between holiday indulgences? Join the Prospect Park Trail Cats for a field trip to New Jersey to run along the Palisades. We'll meet at GAP, carpool over to New Jersey, park at ranger station, and then make our way to the trailhead. We'll plan to run for about 2 hours (distance will vary depending upon your speed), and then head a few miles south to the food court at Mitsuwa Marketplace, where you can replenish your energy with a wide variety of food from several different Asian cuisines (there's also a supermarket if you need to stock up on gochujang, rice noodles, enoki mushrooms or other staples). The trails are not very technical, so this is suitable for trail running newbies. We'll try to make sure everyone has a running buddy, especially if it's your first time on a trail (or your first time on these trails). Please sign up on the spreadsheet to coordinate rides. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kgcSwbI5KBuMlyy7H10LiQMc65m-va0f1iC3F68kwsg/edit?usp=sharing
