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

    Skunk Cabbage 10K 2023

    Spring has sprung in upstate New York! Well, at least on the race calendar, it has. The Skunk Cabbage race is always a harbinger of spring for me and I was excited to have this as the first race on my 2023 calendar.

    Philadelphia Marathon 2022

    My daughter Elizabeth decided to sign up for the Philadelphia Marathon this year. It’d be her first marathon, and she was happy to have me and Amy come and support her. As we reserved the hotel and considered logistics, we decided we’d rather just run the race, too! We’re crazy like that.
