just a quick call out to any STers in the delaware valley area who might be interested in joining myself a couple of other folks on the 21+ mile Four Corners route on the weekend of July 21/22.
The Four Corners is a trail run that touches all 4 corners of the Wissahickon Valley. It is a rugged and extremely hilly run, though none of the hills are particularly long. It is also spectacular in every way, and a mere 5 miles from downtown Philadelphia. The map distance is about 21 miles, but the total ground covered is quite a bit more due to elevation changes.
We plan to start fairly early (6 to 7am) on either 7/21 or 7/22, and I will set up some drink+food caches at two of the corners ahead of time. Pace will be relaxed, somewhere in the 8:00 to 9:30 range for the entire run. Start and finish will be at Valley Green, which also provides options to bail out after two corners (slightly more or slightly less than halfway, depending on which way we run). It will likely be hot and humid ![]()
If you are a long distance runner (multisport or otherwise), you owe it to yourself to do this run at least once. PM me if you’re interested and we’ll keep coordinating. I don’t mind doing runs like this alone, but its always more fun with some other people along for ride.
