20 miles out to Antelope Island-around the island- and back. Great long run. A few things you should know about the island... 1. The causeway is not 3 or 4 miles long like I thought it was- it's a full 7. That means that I ran 14 miles on the causeway and only 6 on the island (I started at the entrance in west Syracuse). Next time I'll ride my bike to the island or something. 2. If you don't run or walk through the entrance it's 9 bucks just to drive in.It's 3 dollars even if you want to get yourself there on foot which I find incredibly ridiculous. Anyone who can get there by running or walking should get to see the island for free. 3. There are several bathroom locations which are extremely valuable on a long run. 4. No bugs today but there will be soon. 5. Lots of bison who are kind of trail hogs. I had to pick a new route 3 times because of the bison. The antelope are not trail hogs. They gave me lots of room. |
