English's Ridge Rumble
English's Ridge Rumble is a trail running event on April 10, 2027 at Green Lakes State Park in Fayetteville, NY, organized by Salt City Trail Racing in cooperation with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation - Central Region.
Distances
- 50km
- 20 Miler
- 10 Miler
The race uses an approximately 10 mile loop with about 1,300 feet of elevation gain. The course passes park landmarks such as The Serengeti, Round Lake, the Powerline Bypass, and Quarry Hill, and moves through open fields and old growth forest. Trail surfaces are varied: much of the route is runnable double track on mulch beds, gravel, or grass, with some technical sections of rocks and roots and a short portion of paved park road. The event begins and ends at the Reserve Picnic Shelter.
There are two aid stations: one at the Start/Finish and one on course at roughly mile 5.5 in the Serengeti that is passed once per loop. Aid offerings include water, Skratch, orange slices, bananas, pickles, PB&Js, potato chips, pretzels, Oreos, and candy. Hot foods will be available to 50km runners later in the day.
Cutoffs are described as generous and intended to be approachable. For the 50km there are loop time limits that allow roughly 5 hours to reach about 20.8 miles and about 7 hours to reach about 26.3 miles. Finish line cutoffs allow approximately 5 hours for the 10 miler, 6.5 hours for the 20 miler, and 8 hours for the 50km.
All registrants receive SCTR socks and finishers receive a limited edition 10th anniversary microfiber towel. Technical and casual long sleeve shirts are available during registration or from the race store. The event is USATF sanctioned, Trail Sisters approved, and a UTMB Index race. Deferrals, bib changes, and distance changes are subject to the event's stated policies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
