A trail run is a run conducted off-road, on some form of marked trail. The trail can be a well-groomed park trail, or it can be a rough scramble through steep inclines or downed trees. Ultra running covers any event over a marathon, 26.2 miles, or under unusually harsh conditions. Many ultra events are also trail events.
RVRR has a long tradition of ultra and trail running, and you may be surprised at the quality and diversity of trail running opportunities in New Jersey, some of which may be only a few miles from your home. We also have a solid core of runners who compete in these events.
Yearly Events
Late April - Leatherman's Loop, a 10k trail run in Westchester County, NY. For additional information, contact Ken.
Late July - Escarpment Trail Run. A 30k trail run in upstate New York. I'll take even money bets that the winner comes back with blood on them.
Various - Pretzel City Sports has events throughout the year, and there usually seem to be club members going there. Early in the year (mid-April) is the Mt Penn Mud Fest. Later in the year, is the Half-Wit Half Marathon. Check the site for exact dates and for more races.
