Hi all,

Due to the American Thanksgiving holiday, many of our runners are out of town or unavailable to run on Wednesday and Friday so we’ll do one route for Monday this week. We’re running to the Happening Bagel Bakery (LOVE that name!) in Finsbury Park via Highgate and the Greenbelt.  This is one of my favourite routes and we don’t do it often because the first part takes us up the hill in Hampstead, which we usually do on Friday.  The first part is the hill, but the second part is beautiful as we run through Highgate and then a stretch of woodland.  If you’ve never done this route before I strongly encourage you to give it a try. (If I can’t twist your arm to try it, you could always do one of our other Heath routes.)  

We’re not setting routes for Wednesday and Friday.  If you want to run, show up for an 8:30 start and as a group you can decide where you would like to go.

Keep running,

Jane

ROUTES

Monday 24 November

Happening Bagel via Highgate and Finsbury Greenbelt – 7 miles

For this run we start up Fitzjohn’s like we’re going to the Heath, but pass the entrance and continue up Spaniards/Hampstead Lane to Highgate.  Cross the street at the big intersection and go down Southwood Lane and at the bottom of the hill veer to the right onto Jackson’s Lane. Continue down Jackson’s to Archway Road and make a right, then a relatively quick left onto Holmesdale Road.  Run a short distance on Holmesdale and the entrance to the Finsbury Greenbelt will be on your left.  Follow the path to Finsbury Park, cross over the train tracks, turn right and run along the western edge of the park and exit onto Seven Sister’s Road.  Happening Bagel is across the street and we will go to Costa for coffee. We will take the tube home from the Finsbury Park Station.

Wednesday 26th and Friday 28th November

Happy Thanksgiving to all celebrating this week!  We will not be setting routes during these ASL holidays but feel free to grab some friends and explore London.  You might want to run down to Borough Market to add to your Thanksgiving table.  The route is on the website: https://womenrunningtheworld.comm/Women_Running_the_World/Routes/Routes.html
