Greek Peak Running Festival

The Greek Peak Running Festival is set at Greek Peak Mountain Resort in Cortland, New York in September 2026. The event presents multiple trail running options that use woodland paths and uphill terrain on the mountain, and the resort site offers on site attractions such as a mountain coaster, an indoor waterpark, and dining at Trax Pub & Grill with a large outdoor deck.

Race formats include a mix of daytime and nighttime events, a specialty uphill run, and family offerings. The 25k course is described as mountain trail running with climbs and descents and the exact course is to be determined. Night events require a headlamp. The Doggo 5k is a canicross type run with rules: dogs must be leashed and under owner control, reactive dogs will be directed to a separate area, muzzles are allowed, and race officials may ask any dog to leave if necessary. The 1 Mile Kids Run is free for ages 12 and under and the course will be well marked.

Listed sponsors for the festival include Greek Peak, Happily Running, Hope Lake Lodge, and Dogs of the Finger Lakes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
