Annadel Loop (ERC event)
Annadel Loop is the 40th annual trail race held in Annadel State Park. The course covers 6.45 miles across the park hills and starts from the state park parking lot at the end of Channel Drive rather than the Cobblestone Trailhead used in previous years.
Registration is limited to the first 100 runners. Online registration is open through 5PM on October 31. Empire Runners Club members may register online for free through 5PM on October 31; race day registration for members is $20. Non-members pay $25 online through 5PM on October 31 and $45 for race day registration. New 2027 membership options that include entry to this race are Adult (22 and over) $36, Family $48, and Youth (21 and under) $12; these memberships include free race entry to multiple ERC events in 2027.
Runners are assigned staggered start head starts based on age and gender. Awards are presented to the top 13 finishers. Parking space at the end of Channel Drive is limited; alternative parking on nearby streets such as Montgomery Drive and Violetti is noted and participants may use the jog down Channel Drive as a warm up. There are no refunds unless the event is cancelled. A course map and past results are available through organizer resources. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
