Tough Love 2X 2 Mile Relay and Kids Relay

Join the Van Cortlandt Track Club in supporting the park we love and helping to raise money to improve the cross-country trail. The park's budget has been slashed but there are still the same number of runners coming through the park racing on the cross-country course which is over 100 years old. The thousands of middle and high school, college and adult runners using the trail every year takes its toll so let's pull together and raise money to allow the Van Cortland Park Alliance to update a test patch of the course with a new surface. They need at least $25,000 to re-do a large enough section to see if it will work for us runners.

This is a two-person relay of two miles per leg. The course will start on the Broadway side of the park towards the north end of the flats, heading south like the 5k course, pole to pole into the cow path. From there, runners will take a sharp left about a mile in, taking the long way up Cemetery Hill, then another sharp left back down to the flats. The relay handoff will be just north of the Tortoise and Hare. The second leg will follow the same path as the first leg, finishing at the Tortoise and Hare.

The kids will also do a relay, around the flats, of about a half mile each.

If you don't have a partner, kid or adult, you can sign up that morning and we will pair you with someone. 

Registration is $30 per pair for the adults and $10 per pair for the kids.
