Raptor Ridge Presented by Peace, Love, Trails

Peace, Love, Trails welcomes you to Raptor Ridge!

Join us on Sunday, August 23rd at 9am!

Run 6.5 miles of challenging trails in the Westmoreland Sanctuary

The race starts and finishes at the Fox Lane H.S. Campus (at the back of the campus behind the Middle School gym).

See if you have the intestinal fortitude to conquer RAPTOR RIDGE!

Westmoreland Sanctuary is a not-for-profit, independent nature center and wildlife preserve located in Westchester County, New York. The land spans three towns: Bedford, Mount Kisco, and Armonk.

We also need to thank the Fox Lane Sports Booster Club for all their help in allowing us to use the beautiful campus for our race headquarters and for the ever important parking!

We will also be collecting food for the Mt. Kisco Food Pantry.  If you would like to personally donate food, please bring non-perishable items that are within the expiration date.

The course starts and finishes at the Fox Lane Middle School.  

After a sprint across the soccer fields, past the obstacle course and onto the access trail, it's into Westmoreland Sanctuary we go!

Then it's a clockwise loop through the trails.  All left turns make it right.  

There will be one water station at the main parking lot of the Sanctuary at approximately 4.5 miles.  If you need more, feel free to bring your own.  

But REMEMBER!!!!!

Leave the Sanctuary better than you left it!!!  Don't leave gel packets or wrappers on the ground. 

If you do, we will find you. 

We don't have any particular set of skills. 

We just don't like litterers and that will drive us to find you.

The course is challenging, with lots of rocks, roots, cat walks and anything else Mother Nature can slap you with.  

The mileage falls in the "ish" category because it has been measured between 6.5 and 6.6 but it's a trail race. If you want accuracy, go to a track.  If you want fun, then this is the place.  

There's also over 1200 ft of elevation gain through the whole course, with a huge chunk of that coming between mile 4.7 and 5.3 as you climb the newest trail in the park, Raptor Ridge.  

Enjoy
