From the Organizer
Join in on a fun and challenging day running the trails on the beautiful grounds of Watkins Glen International. Events will consist of a challenging 3-mile and a 1.5-mile course. Runners will find themselves navigating hills and terrain that also feature streams, tunnels, and wooded areas.
The 3-mile course can be run as a team of 3, with one runner at a time on the course, or competed as an individual runner. For the team event, each runner will return to the start/finish line and tag the next runner. The winning team will be based on all 3 runners successfully completing the course and the hand-offs. (Minimum age for this event is 13 years old)
The 1.5-mile course is a family-friendly trail course and a great opportunity to run with your children, or if the challenge of the 3-mile course isn’t your desire, you can take on this course yourself. (Minimum age for this event is 6 years old)
Help us to help improve the lives of the people who serve and protect the communities across the state. All proceeds will benefit the new Ron Spike First Responder Wellness Center.
