I'm going to be a Cornell tomorrow afternoon and I'm looking to get a run in after my business is done there. I know the area has a lot of great trails, but I was looking for some personal recommendations/directions. I'd be looking to get in anywhere from 9-12 miles. Thanks.
I don't know any courses, but I can tell you it's going to be hilly! Very beautiful area.
If you scroll down there are some gmap-pedometer, routes mapped out from the center of campus.
Have fun in ithaca
If you want to treat yourself after your run, there is a restaurant/sports bar in town called Benchwarmers that offers the "Fat Chick Sandwich". The Fat Chick is about one pound of chicken cutlets covered in melted cheese with sauteed mushrooms and BBQ sauce, on a huge roll. I think there's also lettuce, tomato, and maybe onions. The Fat Chick comes with fries, and if you eat the entire plate you get a free t-shirt that says "I Ate a Fat Chick". Benchwarmers is on Ithaca Common. The sandwich is awesome.
try monkey run-10 or maybe frees trails and then up the gorge onto the golf course. burns is also good, but dont let em talk u into doing sandbank as that hill will kill u
or you can do old faithful, bitches into chunky-monkey...
Seriously, there are so many trails in the area it's ridiculous. Email rojo or wejo maybe. Otherwise, at the end of "monkey road", there are several miles of trails along the river (run straight back, and pick a place to go left, or right, or straight across the steel bridge that's falling apart). buttermilk falls can be spectacular, but i don't think the trails there are as nice. we do a run called "doublecross" near what is called the ithaca reservoir on google maps, i forget what the park there is called -- there are trails on both sides of the river, and people like to climb up the cliff and jump into the river above the dams. there's also the finger lakes trail system, which is hundreds of miles long and passes through ithaca, I think you can google a map of it. Have fun!
