EDIT 12/2012: We have a constantly updated collection of Westchester and area trail maps here. Let us know if any of your favorites are missing!
How do you train for the Leatherman and in general? In January-February of this year we have published eleven articles about trails and preserves we have trained on. Let us know the trails you train on for the Leatherman’s Loop and other trail runs. If you write up a story we can give you a byline on the site! We are looking for runs in the tri-state area where most of our runners hail from—but if you have a nice run from far away, let us know!
