Trail Love: Where to Find Your Favorite Trails in Central New York

I love running the trails in and around Ithaca, NY. Mostly I hit the routes in Taughannock Falls State Park, but on Strava I see so much more of what my fellow runners head out on in Ithaca. Monkey Run, the South Hill Rec Way ... these are trails I haven't known how to find, until now. Here's a list of some great resources for trail enthusiasts.

  • Ithaca Trails Trail listing within Greater Ithaca and Tompkins County. Filter by activity (hiking, biking, horseback, etc). Has a great interactive map. ithacatrails.org
  • Finger Lakes Trail Interactive Map Find the Finger Lakes Trail, access points, shelters and camping places along the trail in your region. fltconference.org

    Syracuse Half Marathon 2023

    Syracuse was forecasted to be warm, in the high 60s by the time we’d finish. It doesn’t sound terribly warm, but since we’ve not been training in the heat, we’re not acclimated to it.
