Jackhammer Trail Running Series
Erie County, United States • 7-25 Jul-Aug 2026
Jackhammer Trail Running Series - Chestnut Ridge Park
The Jackhammer Series is a multi-event trail running series held in July and August at Chestnut Ridge Park in Orchard Park, NY. Each race uses a trail course of 3 miles on the Casino side of the park.
The series includes eight races. Each participant's six best times out of the eight races count toward series awards. Completing six races qualifies a participant for the series awards. Entry is available for individual races or for the entire series; on-site walk-up registration is offered weekly for $20 per race and pre-registration for the full series is available at a different rate.
Age groups are segmented in five year increments, listed from U10, 12-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29 and continuing up through 70 plus. Separate male, female, and masters divisions are included.
Event logistics note the race location is about three quarters of a mile past the Casino just after the stone bridge and that RACE signs mark the Casino side entrance. Participants should observe posted speed limits and park in designated spaces. Park gates close to vehicle traffic at the race entrance before each race; after that time access to registration requires walking about a quarter mile on the road.
A total event registration limit applies. Refunds are not given. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
