Greetings Stoneheads, Pebbleheads, and Boulderheads!
As the wildflowers burst into life all around our local trails, it’s time for the FLRC Trail Circuit to get started in earnest. After a fantastic Super Frosty Loomis snowshoe race back in February, our first Spring trail race is this weekend - join us on Saturday, May 17th for the Thom B. Trail Runs! With three distances to choose from (8.5, 17, and 26.2 miles), running through the beautiful woods of Hammond Hill is the perfect way to get back on the trail and make your mark on the dynamic Trail Circuit leaderboard.
Looking ahead, the 2025 Trail Circuit race dates are:
- Thom B Trail Runs - May 17th
- Lucifer’s Crossing - June 1st (a Red Newt Racing event)
- Tortoise & Hare - June 29th
- Finger Lakes 50s - July 5th
- Forest Frolic - July 27th
- Forge the Gorge - August 7th
- Two Hollows Monster Marathon and Half Marathon - August 24th
- Danby Down & Dirty - October 11th
Anyone who runs at least one Trail Circuit race will appear on the leaderboard, so you can see how you fare in the speed-based Pebblehead and Stonehead rankings, and the mileage-based Boulderhead rankings. Series winners will take home some hardware at our end-of-year trail party in the Fall!
