Overview
Table Rock Trail Challenge is a Last One Standing trail race held at Clark Reservation State Park in Jamesville, NY. The event is part of the Salt City Trail Running series and is USATF-sanctioned. The park contains limestone "table rock" formations and other glacial features and fossils. The event includes a post-race cookout that begins at noon and Last One Standing awards for the last male and female runners standing.
Race format and course
The race runs on two looped courses:
- ~1.3 miles - Course A: crushed gravel, slick table rock, dirt trails with rocks and roots, and some scrambles.
- ~1.2 miles - Course B: avoids the table rock and scramble sections.
Runners start each lap together. The event uses descending lap cutoff times. The sequence in the source is: Lap 1-10 on Course A with the lap cutoff reduced by 30 seconds per lap; Lap 11-16 on Course B with the cutoff reduced by 30 seconds per lap; Lap 17-20 with a 12-minute lap cutoff. Beginning with Lap 21, the race director will reduce lap cutoffs at their discretion until one runner remains. The winner is the last runner to complete the most recent official lap within the cutoff.
