About the race
STRC Trailfest at Newtown Battlefield State Park is scheduled for July 10, 2027, in Elmira, NY. The event is organized by the Southern Tier Running Club (STRC) and is a timed trail challenge lasting three hours on a short loop course.
Participants complete laps on a 1-mile trail loop that gains about 300 feet of elevation per loop, and only laps finished before the three-hour cutoff count toward each participant’s total. A fully stocked aid station is located at the start/finish area. Post-run provisions include food and a covered pavilion with picnic tables and a large field for social activities.
Entry includes a finisher medal, custom BOCO Gear hats for participants, and custom awards for male and female winners. The event description notes a plan to donate a portion of proceeds to a local trails organization. An entry fee of $65.00 is listed, and STRC members are eligible for a $5 discount; STRC membership is noted as costing $10.
The gathering is described as family-friendly and community oriented, with on-site grilling, vegetarian and vegan options, and informal recreation such as a volleyball net, horseshoe pits, and yard games. The event takes place outdoors at Newtown Battlefield State Park and emphasizes trail running on the loop course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
