Grafton 15k

The Grafton 15k is a spring trail race at Grafton Lakes State Park in Grafton, NY. The event is centered on the park beach area and the course covers about 15K; the route is described as roughly 9.3 miles with about 900 feet of elevation gain. The park address is 254 Grafton Lakes State Park Way.

The trail course includes sections that are technical yet runnable. The organizer notes the route is accessible for new trail runners, but conditions can be affected by the season since this is a spring race; some mud should be expected. Runners may find they complete the course a bit faster than a typical road half marathon time.

A detailed course map is available through CalTopo. Registration for the event closes on Thu, Apr 23 at 11:59 PM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
