Raven Rocks Run (10k trail)
The Raven Rocks Run is a trail race held at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River, NY. The event features a 10k trail course that starts in the meadow and passes the spot where the Leatherman’s Loop begins. The route climbs to two of the park's highest points, Raven Rocks Overlook and the Fire Tower Summit, then returns with a mostly downhill and relatively flat finish. The course passes the site of the former Cross River Mountain fire tower. Parking is in the meadow lot with overflow in the upper meadow. The race supports the Friends of Trailside Museum and Ward Pound Ridge Reservation.

Raven 100k Challenge and logistics
The Raven 100k Challenge runs during November; participants register and accumulate 100k by running, hiking, or walking over the month.
