Paine to Pain Trail Half-Marathon
The Paine to Pain Trail Half-Marathon is a single-loop trail race scheduled for Sunday, October 11, 2026 (tentative) in New Rochelle, Westchester County, New York. The course winds through woods and trails in five different parks in lower Westchester County, so participants do not run the same trail twice.
Most of the route is on unpaved surfaces : about 90 percent on dirt with rocks and roots : and is largely shaded by tree cover. The start area is at the Thomas Paine Cottage in New Rochelle and the finish is at New Rochelle High School, directly across the street from the start. The event is hosted by the NewRo Runners club and is part of the Trail Mix Series, a set of seven trail races in Westchester County, NY and Fairfield County, CT.
Trails used in the race are often away from public view and support local wildlife; observed species include deer, fox, coyote, turtles, rabbits, hawks, owls, herons, wild turkeys, and bald eagles. Historical race results and course records are published for prior years. Additional race information, event listings, and participant resources are maintained by the organizers.
