Running Trails

One of the best things about this half-marathon training is exploring new running paths that you might have never visited.  Being tired of the same running route I took a detour one day that led me to this running path along the Bronx River Parkway. 

The picturesque reservation, which runs through the heart of southern Westchester County, features ponds, wooden footbridges and hundreds of varieties of native trees and shrubs. It is a favorite place for bicycling, walking, running and nature study.
The pathway consists of three paved segments:

• a one-mile loop near Oak Street in Mount Vernon
• a 4.6-mile section from Palmer Road in Bronxville north to Crane Road in Scarsdale
• a 5-mile section extending from Green Acres Avenue in Hartsdale to Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla
