The event is a 3 hour timed trail challenge at Newtown Battlefield State Park in Elmira, NY, organized by the Southern Tier Running Club (STRC). The course uses a 1-mile trail loop with approximately 300 feet of elevation gain per loop.
Participants complete as many loops as possible within the 3 hour time limit; only loops completed before the end count. Participants may stop at any time and may run, hike, walk, or stroll.
A fully stocked aid station is located at the start/finish area. Entry is listed as $65.00. STRC members receive a discount; STRC membership is listed at $10 and can reduce the fee by $5.
Registration includes access to the aid station, post run food, a BOCO Gear hat for each participant, a finisher medal, and custom awards for male and female winners. Proceeds include a donation to a local trails organization.
After the timed portion there is a social area with grilled food and vegetarian and vegan options, a covered pavilion, picnic tables, a large field with a volleyball net, horseshoe pits, and space for yard games. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
