Death by Staircase Trail Running Festival

The Death by Staircase Trail Running Festival, held in Moreau, NY, is a unique trail running event centered around a challenging 3.8-mile loop featuring the notorious "staircase of death." This rugged course climbs over 800 feet in less than a mile before descending sharply and finishing with a fast, runnable stretch back to the start. Participants can run solo or join relay teams, completing as many laps as possible within a set time frame, or opt for a more relaxed Fun Run of 1 to 3 laps without time constraints. The event fosters a spirited community atmosphere and celebrates trail running endurance and camaraderie. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
