MIDDLE GROVE — The second installment of the new fun run series, the 4 Season 4K, will take place on Saturday, April 1, at 10:00 a.m. at Camp Stomping Ground (3430 Boyhaven Rd, Middle Grove).
Community members, families and pets of all ages and abilities are welcome to run, walk or dance through the trails of Camp Stomping Ground. Megan James, owner of Immersion PT & coach of Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake cross country & track teams, designed the fun run series as a way to inspire new runners, and foster appreciation for our natural spaces in a fun, family-friendly environment.
“It will be spring in upstate New York, so we are hoping for a muddy run to kick off the season!” says James.
Proceeds from the events will go to BH-BL Rotary Club, which supports many other local organizations and events, including Camp Stomping Ground, and Immersion PT’s “Team Teen” programming for young female athletes.
The new trail will tour through Camp Stomping Ground’s infrastructure, existing trails and the neighboring NYS Forest. Participants should note that trail runs in some areas are ungroomed so caution and surefootedness are advised. The spring run will also highlight maple syrup-based creations for post-run snacking, local maple syrup for sale, and non-traditional prizes, including one for the muddiest runner & the person who brings the “biggest squad” to the run. There will be no time-based, age-group or overall placing awards at any of the events in this series.
Tickets to the event can be purchased through: campstompingground.org/4s4k
Note: In the event of extreme weather or extenuating circumstances, the race will be postponed to Saturday, April 8 at 10 a.m.
