NEW COURSE THIS YEAR! Due to bridge/road construction on Water St, Shortsville, this year's Bound for the Hounds will be held at Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) in Canandaigua, NY! The course is a 2 mile loop on the lower trails on the FLCC grounds. I'd say about 70% is grassy mowed trails, 20% dirt trail, and 10% gravel. There is very little elevation and only a couple small sections of trippy roots. I have yet to finalize the course so there's a chance we skip the trippy roots. I find the course to be road shoe or mild trail shoe friendly. Bound for the Hounds 6 Hour Ultra is held to raise funds to support the "free to all" dog park in Shortsville, NY! Your canine companions are welcome as long as they are well-behaved on a short leash at all times! The race director and FLCC reserve the right to ask a dog's human to remove their dog from the event if any issues arise.

Come join us for the 29th Annual Hobble Gobble Prediction Walk/Run in support of the Potsdam Holiday Fund and other local charities!

The Whiteman-Hull-Snyder American Legion Post 1360 Veterans' Weekend Run/Walk 5k takes place in the village of Cherry Valley, NY.

The idea for The Witching Hours was born on the Long Island trails, during shared miles and endless conversations among three friends. We lost one of those friends this year, and we are committed to honoring her by carrying forward the same spirit that inspired the race from the beginning. For us, that means creating a welcoming, safe, and supportive space for trail runners of all backgrounds and experience levels. Whether you’re chasing a new distance PR, trying your first trail event, or simply looking for a day in the woods with good people and good food, you’ll have a place at The Witching Hours. The race takes place on the trails of Manorville Hills, part of the Paumanok Path and one of Long Island’s most distinctive and expansive trail systems. With 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-hour options, The Witching Hours invites runners and hikers to move at their own pace along a 5K loop featuring pine-lined woods, soft, needle-covered paths, and rolling hills. The course is runnable and beginner-friendly, while approximately 270 feet of elevation gain per loop provides enough of a challenge to keep experienced trail runners engaged. What to expect: • A 5k loop with ~270 ft gain, winding through pines and rolling hills • 1 well-stocked aid station with lots of tasty treats at start/finish of loop • Post-race meal • Come-as-you-are community vibes - walkers, newbies, and experienced runners are all welcome • Choice of shirt size and finisher medals guaranteed for everyone who signs up by 9/26. After that it will be on a first come first serve basis • A large covered area will be provided for runners to leave their belongings, no individual tents allowed We will be hosting 2 training runs on the course- 10/24 and 11/7 at 8am. For more info follow us on Facebook and Instagram @outthererunningcompany Course info: https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2986571?units=km Early bird pricing available until 8/15!

Description The Rollin’ Stonehaven 5K is back and, as always, it’s Unofficial, Unsanctioned, and Slightly Organized! Mark the calendars for Saturday, November 14th, 2026 and get ready for the most neighborly fun you can have with a questionable permit and an abundance of community spirit. Event Info When: Saturday, November 14, 2026 — 9:00 AM Start (show up by 8:30 AM if you want to seem organized) Where: Rama Swim Club, 6109 Wheeler Drive How: Walk, Run, Bike, or Ruck — we don’t judge your style Registration: Sign up early for that slight illusion of order, but spontaneous arrivals welcome too Shirts: Get your unofficial event shirt! For sale on-site while supplies last (and probably taking “back-orders” on sticky notes if we run out) Cost: Free! Donations (think $5-$10 cash) happily accepted (it helps us pay for things like awards, staff, signs, and maybe an air horn) Why Attend? Because it’s unofficial — which means the fun is real but the rules are flexible! Because it’s unsanctioned — which means the only running police you’ll see is your neighbor in athletic shorts. Because it’s slightly organized — which means someone probably made a spreadsheet, but expects it to be ignored. Register now or just show up! All ages, paces, and levels of neighborliness welcome. Come for the run, stay for the laughs, and savor the chaos — Stonehaven style!

Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying the course with friends and loved ones, this event celebrates participation, perseverance, and community. 10K Team Predication Challenge Are you the person that locks into pacing? Time to prove it. Grab 3–5 of your favorite runners and create a team. Guys, girls, mixed teams, it doesn't matter. Fast runners, first-time runners, or any combination in between. Run together, split up, race hard, or enjoy the course side-by-side. Every strategy is fair game! Here's the twist: before the race, your team predicts your combined average finish time. Then, your mission is to run as close to that predicted average as possible. Sounds easy? Not so fast. No watches. No finish clock. No cheating. We'll even give you a wristband to cover your watch so you won't be tempted to peek... but don't worry, it'll still upload to Strava afterward. This isn't about who has the fastest team—it's about who knows their pace the best. Can you judge your effort over the rolling hills and terrain of a cross country 10K without any feedback? Every hill, every downhill, every decision matters. Whether you've been running for two weeks or two decades, this is a completely different kind of challenge. Experience helps, but so does teamwork, communication, and a little bit of intuition. Challenge your team. Inspire your community. Finish strong—together! Come out, get active, and be part of an event that promotes healthy living, community engagement, and fun for everyone. Lace up your shoes, bring your team, and let’s make this year’s race our biggest and best yet! Lace Up, Show Up, Hustle

Why Water? The global water crisis doesn’t always make headlines. But the truth is that it claims more lives each year than war. Globally, 1.8 billion people – that’s about one out of every four people – drink from contaminated water sources. Unsafe water leads to illnesses that claim the lives of 840,000 people each year, almost half of whom are children under the age of five. What’s more, women and children spend hours each day collecting water. This keeps them from school, work, and time with family. This keeps families and communities from learning, earning an income, and contributing to the local economy. All proceeds from the race will benefit the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Global Water Ministry. Race Course (see course map below): Runners and walkers will enjoy a 3.1 mile road course starting from Grace Lutheran Church parking lot and turning into the gently rolling neighborhood of Grace Ridge to loop through all three neighborhood phases of Grace Ridge. This race is for recreational runners and walkers as well as competitive runners. The fun run course will be held on Grace Lutheran property. Race Day Check-In: 7:00 a.m. - 8:20 a.m. on site. Race day registration will be 5k: $30, Fun Run: $5 5K Course Records: Male: 17:22 (2024), Female: 19:59 (2025) Awards - 5K: Overall Top 3 Male & Female and Overall Masters Male & Female awards will be given. $100 cash prize for first overall male/female, $50 cash prize for second/third overall male/female, and $50 cash prize for first overall male/female masters! The top 3 runners in each of the following divisions will receive awards: Male and Female ages 12 & under, 13-15, 16-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 & over. Age group awards - Sports beanie with logo! Awards - Fun Run (8 & under): Overall top 3 Male & Female finishers. $25 cash prize for first overall male/female (ages 8 & under). All fun run participants will receive a finisher's medal. Long Sleeved T-shirts for participants (guaranteed if registered by October 31) HUSHPUPPIES!!!

We can't wait to share this beautiful NC State Park with you! Get ready to add a new Eastern Carolina trail event to your fall calendar!

This event will feature a 10K Hike, 10K Race, Half Marathon Race, and a 50K Race! All races will be timed and all finishers who sign up in time will earn a sustainable wood medal. Trail distances are not exact. Our 10K is a little long and our Half has been a little short on most watches. This year the Half will have a short out and back to make sure everyone gets the distance.
