Paul Smiths Trail Running Festival
The Paul Smiths Trail Running Festival in Paul Smiths, NY is a loop-style endurance event with three timed formats. Runners attempt to complete as many laps as possible of an approximately 4 mile loop within their chosen time limit.

The course covers about 4 miles of moderately rolling terrain. Sections of the route run on singletrack through conifer stands, while other sections follow wide former logging roads. There may be occasional views of Whiteface Mountain from parts of the course.
The festival setting includes live music, food, and additional on-site activities. Packet pickup and check-in are available the day prior at the VIC lodge and on race day at the event venue. Registration closes Fri, Aug 21, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
