Pinky’s Rock n Rolla

Pinky’s Rock n Rolla takes place in Forest Park, Richmond Hill, and features a 4 Mile trail race. The course consists of hiking trails rather than bridle paths or gravel roads. The terrain is part of the Harbor Hill Moraine, a natural "knob and kettle" landscape formed by the Wisconsinian glaciation. Participants run through a century-old pine grove and a large continuous oak forest in Queens.

The event is dedicated to Pinky the Pacer, a dog that completed thousands of miles on these specific trails. Dogs are permitted to participate alongside their owners. The race course is fully marked at regular intervals to guide runners through the naturally carved landscape.

Runners can collect their bibs on the day of the event. All finishers receive a medal, and prizes are awarded to the top three male and female participants. All proceeds from the event are donated to a local animal rescue organization. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
