The 13-mile Dryden Lake Lollipop course starts at the Freeville trailhead of the Dryden Rail Trail, running to Dryden and out the Jim Schug Trail, but then it sends you around Dryden Lake for the head of the lollipop. It’s long, but mostly flat and non-technical. For those who want to break up the run into two sections, you can park in the Village of Dryden near Agway (but they lock their lot at night) and start in the middle.
