Surviving Ultra

Because DFL is still an accomplishment

Clarence Fahnestock State Park

Fahnestock park is a 15,000 acre preserve that house miles of trails to explore, including a segment of the Appalachian trail.  It’s also the home of the annual ultramarathon Fabulous Fahnestock.  This is a great place to hike and train for lengthier trail runs as you can create routes that will cover longer distances without having to repeat the same section over and over again. The trails are also very runnable and tend to be well marked with an example below from a recent exploration of the School Mountain Trail:

It’s a place I’m planning on using again and again in the coming months for some lengthier trail-based training runs.
