Van Cortlandt Events in the Bronx

The Van Cortlandt Track Club has a list of its 2008 events now posted on its Web site, key for those of you (and me) who love the cross-country and trail events they put on. All of those listed below, with the exception of the Riverdale Ramble, are on the trails of Van Cortlandt.

Yes, it can be a long haul by subway (more than an hour) to get there from Brooklyn, but it's well worth it. The X/C races generally have about 100 people, the trail challenge about 50. Last year's was held Boston Marathon weekend - you might remember, when the storm was pummelling the East Coast.

Here’s a list of dates:

April 6: Urban Trail Challenge (a 10K this year)
May 22: X/C Speed Series
June 1: Riverdale Ramble (road race)
June 5: X/C Speed Series
June 19: X/C Speed Series
July 3: X/C Speed Series
July 17: X/C Speed Series
July 31: X/C Speed Series
Aug. 14: X/C Speed Series
