About the race
Breakneck Point Trail Runs in Beacon, New York, is hosted by Red Newt Racing and offers two distances: 21K and 42K, with steep elevation gains (about 4,800 ft and 9,000 ft, respectively). The course blends jeep trails, single-track, historic estate paths, and technical pitches, including the signature Breakneck Point ridge, delivering panoramic river and mountain views. Known as one of the Northeast’s toughest trails, it attracts both elite mountain runners and adventurous hikers.
The event has served as a USATF trail marathon national championship qualifier and world-team selection in some years. Aid stations, on-site camping, shirts, and proceeds support Hudson Highlands State Park and the NY-NJ Trail Conference. The course is tentative.
