From the Organizer
Trail Fest 2026 @ Tilden Hill Farm is an Endurance Challenge that will conclude with well deserved post completion Celebration at the historic Tilden Hill Farm in Verona, NY, smack dab in the middle of NYS. The entire trail system is wooded, mostly single track with minimal elevation change. It will be a journey through nature with like minded endurance athletes with different goals in mind.
This inaugural event is a prequel to Fit Fest 2027, more on this at a latter date.
For Trail Fest 2026 we will be offering 3 separate Endurance Challenges, a 3 hour, 6 hour and a 10 hour distance challenge. Each trail loop will be 2.62 miles in length. All finishers will receive a Finisher Medal but only those who complete 5 laps will earn the Bronze 13.1 pin, 10 laps for the Silver 26.2 pin and 12 laps for the Gold 50K pin.
All 3 distance events will conclude at 4pm with a group plunge into the spring fed pond (optional of course) followed by food, drink, music celebration with an Awards Ceremony part of the mix. Awards for top lap completions (M/F). Depending on participation numbers (entries) we would certainly like to offer Age Group Awards as well, TBD.
Overnight accommodations available including Cabins, Tenting and RV Sites. Please visit Tilden Hill Farm for lodging/stay information.
We'll see you on Saturday August 15th!!!!
