About the race
Beyond the Call - Trail Challenge takes place on July 12, 2026 at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, NY. The event uses trail terrain on the facility grounds and includes distinct short-course options.
Distances offered:
- 3 miles available as individual or three-person team relay
- 1.5 miles family-friendly trail course
The courses run over natural terrain with hills, streams, tunnels, and wooded sections. The 3 mile course can be contested by individual runners or by relay teams of three. In the team format each runner completes the full 3 mile course one at a time and returns to the start finish line to tag the next teammate at a designated exchange point. Team results are determined by all three runners completing the course and the hand offs.
Minimum ages are specified for each course: 13 years for the 3 mile event and 6 years for the 1.5 mile event. Registration fees listed for the date provided are $120 per team for the 3 Mile Team Challenge, $40 for the 3 Mile Individual Challenge, and $30 for the 1.5 Mile Family Friendly Challenge. Registration opens May 4, 2026 and closes June 30, 2026. Proceeds benefit the Ron Spike First Responder Wellness Center. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
