We will then enter the main park and head south to do a brief jog on Old Pond Trail, then turn around and continue our loop through the rest of the park. We will look to do an avg pace of 4 mph: moderate to fast (depending on group comfort) hike uphill and 4.5-5.0 mph straightaway and downhill. Please bring headlamp since we will be starting in the dark!
