Squatchywaska Mountainfest

Ellenville, United States • 25 Apr 2026

Squatchywaska Mountainfest is a challenging trail running event held in Ellenville, New York, featuring two race distances: a 25K and a 10-mile course. Set in the stunning Shawangunk Ridge, runners navigate rugged mountain singletracks, cliffs, and glacially polished ledges through pitch pines, huckleberry bushes, and mountain laurels. The courses offer significant elevation gains—over 2,500 feet for the 25K and 1,800 feet for the 10-miler—and reward participants with breathtaking views of the Catskills, a sky lake, and the iconic 187-foot Verkeerder Kill Falls. The event supports RunWild, Inc.'s campaign to protect the falls and emphasizes safety with mandatory gear requirements. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
