Race against friends (and time) in the 3.5 or 5.4 mile races that take you through the heart of the resort. Don’t worry, the Mudslide doesn’t have barbed wire, rings of fire or anything of that sort - just fun in the mud! And it ends with a giant - you guessed it - mudslide to cross the finish line! Costumes are encouraged! For additional details and to reserve your spot at the starting line, go to holidayvalley.com/mudslide
JUNE 26th
@ The Pat McGee Trail | Little Valley, NY
runsignup.com
With so many races cancelled for 2021 and runners excited to get back to running in-person events, EnduranceFactor has found a great course that does not utilize public streets while still being a much easier course than a trail type event. The course utilizes a railway bed converted to the Pat McGee Trail and is flat and fast, only 125 feet of elevation gain for the entire Half Marathon! Choose between the Half or the 5k, and register soon to secure your spot at the starting line. Wave start, finishers medal, cool t-shirt, recovery food!
