Other Tidbits
We are dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors, and we encourage you to "leave no trace behind" by taking all trash with you. Park Rangers appreciate it when racers follow the marked course and keep the trails clean.
The trails will be open to other users during the event such as hikers and mountain bikers. Please be courteous, as you will likely encounter a few. Please let other participants pass you if they want to get by. It's a passing runner's job to tell the person in front that they would like to pass.

Born to Run is very excited to present a FREE running clinic this Saturday with Barefoot Ted!
Barefoot Ted McDonald, who is one of Born to Run's founding members, is an independent athlete committed to re-discovering natural human capacities and encouraging others to do the same. He has spent the last 7 years focused on mastering barefoot long distance running, and now focuses on sharing his insights through coaching clinics and speaking engagements. Ted has been featured in numerous articles and frequently interviewed. His Introduction to Barefoot Running clinics are designed to communicate his personal discoveries about barefoot running.
Born to Run is very fortunate to host Barefoot Ted and invites all of you to come and hear him teach. If you want to improve your barefoot/minimalist running, this is the place to be Saturday morning!
This one hour clinic will be followed by our usual BTR Running Club group run. All are invited to come on the run.
Nov. 5, New York: Biggest “Born To Run Event” Ever.
"On Friday, Nov. 5, we’ll be staging a TED-like theater of the mind devoted to “Reinventing Running: The Thrill is Back.” I’ll be hosting an evening of guest speakers who will re-examine our first fine art — distance running — and discuss how to re-discover the adventure without fear, spongy footwear, or false limitations. We’re modeling the night after the wildly successful TED conferences, with an added twist: the speakers will condense their talks to 15 intense, fast-moving minutes, but for a finale, all the speakers will gather on stage for a wide-open audience Q&A panel. So if you’ve ever wanted to ask Barefoot Ted face-to-face about The Urine Incident, or quiz Prof. Lieberman about chatting old bones with Alan Alda, opportunity is knocking.
Guests speakers so far include:
*Dr. Daniel Lieberman, Harvard’s “Barefoot Professor” and co-creator of the “Running Man” theory of human evolution."
The place:
NEW YORK SOCIETY FOR ETHICAL CULTURE
2 West 64 Street
New York, NY
The time: doors open at 6pm
The price: 10 bucks.
Tickets are seriously limited, so I’d suggest you move fast. You can buy them online thru Eventbrite, or in person at Paragon Sports.
