Even More to Love with the NEW Sarah Bishop Double 10K

Their times will be added and awards given to the fastest competitors. All participants of the Double receive a commemorative gift you’ll be proud to use and display.
Hairier than the Leatherman
If you’re familiar with the Leatherman’s Loop, Run the Farm, or Raven Rocks trail races, then you know how fun and challenging the terrain in Northern Westchester can be. The course starts at Hemlock Lake, passes Lookout Point and continues over Bailey Mountain (at 982 feet, the highest point in Westchester), touches the Connecticut border, passes flowing streams and Spruce Lake, then finishes near Hemlock Lake. You can be sure that there will be seasonal streams that that you’ll cross but nothing too deep. Still, with 1200 feet of overall elevation gain in the 10k-ish race, there are plenty of challenging hills to make things interesting. If you’ve run the Leatherman’s Loop, you’ll understand why we like to say that Sarah Bishop is hairier than the Leatherman.
The race is limited to 400 participants and will fill up quickly so register early.
