Fall Run The Farm
Run The Farm is a trail running event held at Muscoot Farm in Katonah, New York. The event utilizes the natural landscape of the park, including farm roads, forests, and meadows. The courses consist entirely of trails and dirt tracks without any pavement crossings. Participants navigate various terrain features such as stone walls, small seasonal streams, and a wooden bridge.
The event offers several distances and categories:
- 5 Miles: A trail run featuring steep hills at the one-mile and three-mile marks.
- 1.1 Miles (2k): A kids trail race specifically for participants aged 7 to 12.
- 0.6 Miles (1k): A kids trail race for participants aged 6 and under.
The five-mile course includes a long, gradual incline followed later by a shorter, steep ascent. Ground conditions vary by season and weather, with potential for wet or muddy sections, though the majority of the route is well-drained.
The event is sanctioned by USA Track and Field. Following the races, participants receive vouchers to spend at the local farmer's market held on the property. Due to the presence of resident farm animals, dogs are not permitted on the grounds or in the races, with the exception of trained service animals.
