The Eagles will be heading up to New York this weekend to race the storied Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.
PVI Runners be at the high school by 9:45AM as the bus is LEAVING AT 10AM! Have everything ready to go. For parents looking to go – here are directions.
By Car:
From New Jersey and Points South & West: Take Interstate routes (I-95, I-78, I-80) to George Washington Bridge. Follow signs keeping you on I-95 for about 1 mile off bridge, then exit at I-87 North. Take I-87 North (also called the Major Deegan expressway) approximately 3-4 miles to Van Cortlandt Park exit. Bear right off exit, go about 1/4 mile and bear right onto Broadway (you’ll be parallel to elevated train). Go through 2 traffic lights and VCP parade grounds are on right.
The schedule:
Boys JV (1:00pm): Fiore, Holland, Hubbs, Vadino, S. Pellegrino, A. Connelly, Giordano, Pinto, Rooney, T. Pellegrino, Carrozzo (10 as one of you will be running Varsity!)
Varsity ‘B’ Race (2:40pm): Rankin, Hoban, Norris, Lively, Murphy, Bradford, a 7th TBD (7)
Depending on how people are feeling (injuries, etc.), we might have to switch people around or sit them out this one - so be ready for that. Don’t know much about Van Cortlandt Park? Read about it here. Below is a course map of the 2.5 mile course (which you all will be running Saturday):
Follow the solid and dashed lines. The solid ones denote start and finishing stretches. The dotted lines represent the back hills (and remember the last half-mile is down hill!).
