Greek Peak Running Festival

Virgil, United States • 13 Sep 2026

Event Overview

The Greek Peak Running Festival is a trail running event held at Greek Peak Mountain Resort in Cortland, New York. It is described as an inaugural celebration of trails and family fun.

Distances

The festival offers several race distances:

  • 25k: A 25-kilometer mountain trail run described as going "up and down." The exact course is to be determined.
  • 10k: A "mountain-ish" 10-kilometer course, consisting of two loops of the 5k route. It is noted as not flat or easy.
  • 5k: A "mountain-ish" 5-kilometer run.
  • Uphill 1k Run: A 1-kilometer run straight up the resort's steepest slope, Iliad.
  • Doggo 5k: A canicross-style 5k for runners with dogs. Specific rules for dog behavior and equipment are provided.
  • Night Time 10k & 5k: Evening versions of the standard 10k and 5k races, requiring participants to use a headlamp.
  • 1 Mile Kids Run: A free run for children 12 and under.

Event Details

The courses weave through scenic woodland paths on the mountain slopes and involve hill climbs. The event is positioned as a family affair with activities beyond running. Participants can access the mountain resort's amenities, such as a mountain coaster and an indoor waterpark.

After the races, a social gathering with local craft beer and food is held at the Trax Pub & Grill at the base of the mountain. The festival takes place on the same weekend and at the same location as the Virgil Crest Ultras, which offers longer distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
