Kick off your New Year’s Eve with a dash through the hills! Before the ball drops, join the Medved crew at Mendon Ponds Park on Wednesday, December 31st. We’re meeting at Hopkins Point to close out the year on the trails.
Whether you’re looking to crush one last climb or just want a scenic stroll to start the celebrations early, there is a spot for you in the pack.
The Game Plan
- When: Wednesday, Dec 31st @ 6:00 PM (Sharp)
- Where: Hopkins Point, Mendon Ponds Park
- The Vibe: A social, one-hour loop through the park’s iconic rolling terrain, led by our Medved Staff and Ambassadors.
Why You Should Come
- Zero Cost: Start your resolutions early without spending a cent.
- All Paces Welcome: We’re out here for the community, not a gold medal. No runner is left behind.
- Expert Guides: We’ll handle the navigation so you can focus on the winter scenery and your NYE plans.
The Must-Haves
To keep everyone safe and festive, please remember:
- Light it Up: It’s dark in the park! Headlamps and reflective gear are mandatory—think “human glow-stick.”
- No Pups This Time: We love our furry friends, but please leave pets at home for this group run.
- Traction Action: Since it’s December in Rochester, spikes or trail shoes are highly recommended for the snow and ice.
Post-Run Plans: We’ll be finishing up with plenty of time to get you home, showered, and ready for your midnight toast!
Pro Tip: Check our weekly meeting schedule below to make sure you’re always heading to the right trailhead as we move into the New Year.
