Go Forth!

Rattlesnake Hill WMA

Dalton, NY 7.5 miles

Registration closes: Fri, Mar 7 @ 11:59 PM ET

Event Details

Go forth into the busy world and love it. Interest yourself in its life, mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows.

Since it's inception, the Common Ground Winter Trail Series has felt like it should have four races. There have been lots of ideas but nothing concrete or particularly realistic. Finally, we decided that we were unnecessarily constraining ourselves to the world of good, fully-thought-out ideas. Our new concept is simply to create an event that sparks a sense of adventure. Each year we'll come up with something that explores our little corner of the world and offer participants an opportunity to mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows.

This year FarFetched Enterprises and Doody Runs are collaborating in the group run "Go Forth! Snakes & Cakes". We'll be exploring Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area followed by a group trip for all-you-can-eat pancakes at Cartwright's Maple Tree Inn.

Common Ground

Go Forth! is the fourth event in the Common Ground Winter Trail Series, a collaboration between FarFetched Enterprises and Goose Adventure Racing. The goal of the series is bringing together the trail running community to get out on the trails over the winter and enjoy each other's company. The series includes the following events:

Location, Parking & Schedule

We'll be meeting up somewhere TBD within Rattlesnake Hill WMA. There are no indoor facilities or bathrooms.

Course

The proposed route is an approximately 7.5 mile loop within Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area. To protect managed areas during muddy season we will stay mainly on dirt and gravel roads. The route is subject to change due to trail conditions, weather, and the whims of the group.

Post-Run Activities

We'll head on over to Cartwright's Maple Tree Inn for their famous all-you-can-eat buckwheat pancakes. They do not take reservations and have a limited season, so be prepared for long lines and wait time.

Event's current local time: 5:55 PM ET
