Run the Farm - Answering Questions about the Event
Runners: Thank you for your overwhelming response to our Run the Farm Survey. Of the 650+ people who responded, 80% (over 500) responded they would either “Definitely” or “Likely” be there. Another hundred were rated their participation “Possibly.” Over half of the respondents indicated that someone in their family would like to participate in a kids race the same day. So we are thinking it’s a go!
We received a lot of questions in the open ended part of the survey. Here are a selection of these comments and our responses to them regarding the planned “Run the Farm” 5 mile trail race and kids 1 mile race at Muscoot Farm on October 24, 2010.
A number of comments were similar so we condensed them or combined them over one response. If you have any other questions, let us know. Your ideas and feedback have already given us great ideas and encouragement.
Note: Some commenters mistakenly thought that we were asking for opinions about a Fall Leatherman’s Loop. Just to be clear—that is not under consideration.
We are developing this new trail race at Muscoot to get people running trails locally and to help get the word out about local farms and farmer’s markets.

Run The Farm - New Trail Race Survey
Dear Leatherman’s Loop family of runners,
Over the years, many of you have asked the Loop directors to stage a Fall trail race. Also, many of you have been asking for a kid’s race. We have good news for both groups.
If there is enough interest, your Leatherman’s management team will do their absolute best to make them happen. Please click on the link below and take a few seconds to respond to the two question survey.
Run the Farm Survey—http://www.surveypirate.com/Survey.aspx?surveyid=20010&sp.mac=62JP7BzuslbUXKmXzu588Q%3d%3d
Best to all,
Mike Rob and Tony
[EDIT: tentative date is Sunday, October 24th, 2010 at Muscoot Farm in Katonah, NY. Kids 1 mile race would start at 8:30 which should be plenty of time to run or even walk the 1 mile kids race and the main 5 mile race would start at 9am. The idea is to have the kids race finished before the 5 mile race goes off.]
[EDIT 2: there is another race titled Run the Farm in Elizabeth, Indiana across the river from Louisville, Kentucky. It is a 5k and 10k event in November 2010. We wish them the all the best. If anyone does both be sure to let us know!]
[EDIT 3: we have had a lot of positive response and questions. We will try to get a response to questions and comments out in the next week or so. Keep posted!]

The Beauty of the Loop: Taking the Next Step
One’s relationship to nature is a deeply personal experience, whether it’s a walk in the park, or along the river, or under a summer night’s sky, or whether it’s the Loop. In every case, I think, the common theme is beauty. As I said at the Loop, the person who can see this beauty in everything is a happy person.
At the same time our relationship to nature is also a collective reality. We need all of these wonderful expressions of nature – this beauty – in order not only to survive but also to thrive, for nature nurtures our souls as well as our bodies. In other words, people who can see this beauty in things will create a community that preserves and cultivates it.
Some of us are looking for ways to do that – to take the next step – to breathe this spirit of beauty and connection into our lives. Join us at the Summer Solstice event for an evening of fun and meaning where we will make the connections between our deep experiences and HOW best to live together on this earth so that our children will also know this beauty.
