Paul Smiths Trail Running Festival

The Paul Smiths Trail Running Festival in Paul Smiths, NY is a loop-style endurance event that offers timed options of 6 hour, 3 hour, and 1 hour. Participants aim to complete as many laps as possible of the roughly 4 mile course within their selected time window.

The course covers approximately 4 miles of moderately rolling terrain. Sections run on singletrack through conifer stands, while other parts follow wider former logging roads. The route travels through wooded areas and offers occasional long views where Whiteface Mountain may be visible.

The event day includes live music, food, and additional on-site activities separate from the timed running. The format focuses on repeated laps of a measured loop, with results based on the number of laps completed in the chosen time period. Entry options and fees are provided through the event registration process. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
