Danby Down and Dirty 2017 - Finger Lakes Runners Club

This concludes our 2017 trail running season. Thank you to all who ran today and at any of our other trail races this year. Shout out to Andy Jordan, who is stepping down as Danby RD after several years at the helm. Thank you, Andy, for all your hard work over the years!

The weather this year was warmer than usual for early October in Ithaca, and the trails were pretty dry, but no new course records were set. Stay tuned for the 2017 Stonehead, Pebblehead, and Boulderhead rankings, coming soon.

ABOUT

FLRC’s final trail race of the year offers two distances so everyone can enjoy the crisp autumn weather and gorgeous fall foliage in the lovely Danby State Forest. The course comprises about 60% single-track trails on the Finger Lakes Trail and Abbott Loop and 40% dirt and logging roads. While it is fine to switch from one distance to the other mid-race, as a courtesy to our volunteers, all runners coming through the 10K after 10:30 AM will be directed to the finish line. If it’s a clear day, sacrifice a few seconds to enjoy the spectacular multi-county views from the Pinnacles halfway through the 10K loop before plummeting headlong down a twisty trail! Afterward, relive your race while enjoying cider and bagels with your fellow runners.

The Danby Down and Dirty trail runs are part of the FLRC Trail Circuit, and results are included in the annual Pebblehead/Stonehead/Boulderhead rankings.

WHERE

The start/finish is 2.5 miles south of Danby on Michigan Hollow Road at the intersection with Smiley Hill Road. Park only on the west (right) side of the road. Map and driving directions.

Unlike road races, the footing is not level. It is uneven and can be dangerous. A fall or injury is possible.
Insect bites, mud, treacherous footing, fallen logs, and vehicles at road crossings are possible hazards.
Heat could still be a concern this time of year; if so, carry fluids and watch for symptoms of heat exhaustion!
Cold weather could also be a problem; if so, bring warm clothes for after the race to prevent hypothermia.

This race is organized by the Finger Lakes Runners Club and insured by the Road Runners Club of America.

COURSE

The course is either on the Abbott Loop (orange blazes) Finger Lakes Trail (white blazes) or dirt road (dirt road). Intersections and turns will be marked prior to the race with flagging tape, chalk, ribbon, and/or cones and flags as needed. The race starts on Michigan Hollow Road, 2.5 miles south of the town of Danby.

The start is near the intersection of Michigan Hollow and Smiley Roads at
1,288′ of elevation. 10K and 20K runners start together and proceed south on Michigan Hollow Road for about 1.5 miles. The first turn will be a right onto the orange blazed Abbott Loop Trail. You simply stay on this trail for most of the rest of the 10 k run. 1.7 miles and 332′ elevation gain brings you to the first crossing of Bald Hill Road (3.2 mile mark). Another mile on the trail, and 200′ more elevation gain brings you to The Pinnacles (1,700′). A fast descent over about .6 miles of trail brings you to the second crossing of Bald Hill Road (4.8 mile mark). You will actually turn right onto Bald Hill, and follow it for about 175′ before turning off to the left. About 1.2 miles from this second crossing of Bald Hill Road, you will join the Finger Lakes Trail (white blazes) (6 mile mark). Turn right. Shortly after crossing a small foot bridge, the trail crosses Michigan Hollow Road. After a short uphill section on the Finger Lakes Trail you will hit another road (and aide station). If you are running the 10K, turn right and sprint down the dirt road to the finish (6.2ish).

If you are running the 20K, cross Smiley Rd and continue on the FLT (white blazes). About 1.4 miles will bring you to Hill Road (dirt) (7.6 mile mark). You will stay on Hill Rd for about 0.5 mile until your right turn back onto the Abbott Loop (orange blazes) (1,670′ elevation, 8.1 mile mark). Descend 0.9 miles on the Abbott Loop Trail back to Michigan Hollow Road (1,180′, mile 9.0). To complete the 20k you simply retrace the trail portion of the 10k loop, except this time you will not visit the Pinnacles. Instead, when you come to Bald Hill Road (mile 10.5), turn right and run north for 0.4 miles then turn right back onto the Abbott Loop Trail (mile 10.9). The same 1.4 miles that finished the 10k loop will finish the 20K loop (12.4ish miles).
