It's National Trail Running day so head out to Staten Island for a trail run as the sun is setting. The group run along the Greenbelt's legendary trail system for a great experience at the end of the work day.  And of course the scenery is spectacular and the only traffic is from birds flying overhead! We'll relax on the grounds of the Nature Center post run.
