Please RSVP if you're going and comment with your pace and distance. Update if your status has changed. Check the discussion for folks' plans or any updates. Only "Going" will be considered for cancellation or alteration purposes. Events labeled "self-directed" are ones where the usual group leaders aren't there to lead, but you can still get together with others and follow the route map.

Be mindful of others. Give people space, cover your cough/sneeze, and wash your hands. If you are sick, stay home or so far apart you can't breathe on anyone.
NOTE: If no one has confirmed they are going (besides host(s)) by 7 p.m. Tuesday, the night before, the workout is subject to cancellation.
Distance: As much as you want; most folks do 1-2 circuits (3-mile path once, twice, or thrice; please comment with your intended mileage or time at workout). It's easy to truncate the route, if needed.
Pace: Dependent upon weather, surfaces, participants (please comment with your intended pace); some folks do speedwork for all or part of the workout, some folks walk, some folks run. If you're new, we won't leave you to fend for yourself unless that's your preference.
Plan: Three-mile, paved circuit traversed multiple times (see comments for what individuals say they'll do); if you want to do something that's not a multiple of three, you may be on your own for part of your workout; even if others aren't of your pace, we start together and double-back over multiple parts of the course, allowing us to see each other frequently during the workout (you might be on your own, but you won't truly be alone). Sometimes we change plans, but this is generally what we do.
Route: http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/960529657 - basically start from the corner of the parking lot and stay left from there all the way around the park, except the other parking lots and the dog park. NOTE: Sometimes we decide on an ad hoc route with whoever shows up, so this is a plan, not an unalterable edict.
Parking: Park in the southwest corner of the lot by the tennis courts/Millennium Lodge (follow entrance road to end; it loops into the lot); Park map: http://www2.monroecounty.gov/files/parks/Maps/GreeceCanalPark.pdf.
Support: Bring your own nutrition, fluids, and whatever else you need. There is a water fountain outside the lodge in the summer. Wear appropriate gear and bring your cell phone. Police suggest locking any valuables (wallet, purse) in your trunk. Restrooms on site.
Hold Harmless: By attending a workout, you accept that you alone are responsible for your well-being and accept that any activity has inherent risks.
RSVP by 7 p.m. the night before the event for your input to be considered.
