Hey Trail Kiddos,
Time for Tuesday Trails at Needwood for one last time before we move to our Winter Quarters. I think we can squeeze this one in before it gets too dark but there’s a chance we might have some precip in the area. That’s ok though cuz we be trail runners. S*%t like that don’t affect us – at least not in a negative way. Most important is the run time temp – it’ll be in the 70s! So come out and enjoy!
Announcements:
- Upcoming on Saturdays in October – Stone Mill Course Preview runs. More details to come but these will be open to all.
Now, for the details:
Location: Lake Needwood (Hiker/Biker Trail parking Lot)
Address: 15700 Needwood Lake Circle, Derwood, MD 20855
Date: 17 September 2024
Time: Warm up at 6 p.m. Run starts at 6:15
Course: Something a little different to close out our Summer residency here at the lake. Kind of an out-n-back. Head up the East side of the lake and out onto the Blue Jay Loop. Back past archery range on the Needwood Trail until intersection with Mudcat on right. Take that up to park entrance. Cross Needwood Road and go out-n-back on Beaver Trail (aka Upper Rock Creek). Cross back over Needwood Road the way you came and come back down Mudcat until you hit Needwood Trail. Go right and take that back to the parking lot. Kapeesh?
