SUNY Old Westbury Campus

The following report was submitted by Andrea L. Dupont :

Please add SUNY Old Westbury to your list of favorites. The crowd is growing and a few of us are loyal fans. Even the marathon training runners come by here to add some hills. You can clock 9.2 miles if you run the entire campus and each entrance, i.e. you park in campus parking, run downhill to Route 106, back up but bearing to the left, out to the service entrance near The Hamlet. Run to the Service road and back. Left onto the campus ring road up the hill to the next SUNY entrance. left into "the meadow" passing the stables all the way to the gates. Back up to the campus ring road. Left and back around to campus parking. Look out for the mammouth hill which at this point is no big deal because each entrance to SUNY is an uphill battle. The scenary here is beautiful and there is no traffic, no people, no distractions. Just you and the road. It really is a great training ground for runners and those of us faithful users savor every Saturday and Sunday morning here.

Blydenburgh County Park

The following report was submitted by Pamela Schmidlin

There is a great run at Blydenburgh County Park in Hauppauge. I run it a lot with and without my dogs…..it covers 5 ½ miles and is scenic, quiet, usually find other runners or walkers, or horseback riders throughout the park. There is a parking fee between Memorial and Labor Days on weekends and holidays. But otherwise it’s free to park. It has great trail running and a boardwalk for about ¼ of a mile or so…..lovely streams, you can also run on the paved roads for a short while.
