ABOUT

These classic trail races take place on the beautiful orange- and white-blazed trails through Kennedy State Forest. The 15K (9-mile) course is a figure 8 that boasts 1,700 feet of climb; the 7K (4.1-mile) course follows the shorter, more scenic loop of the 15K and features about 700 feet of climb. Both courses have you splashing across a stream and ascending to the rock pile where the famed Monster (of the Monster Marathon) once dwelled.

The courses consist of 50% single-track trail, 30% logging roads, and 20% dirt roads. The trail is well marked (painted blazes on trees, double blazes at turns) and clear of brambles. Perhaps the giant fungus of 2015 will return!

Want to make a weekend of it? Come the day before with a tent and you can camp for free by the start/finish at the primitive Hauck Hill campsite. Make sure to bring water.

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

Many FLRC trail races take place on parts of the Finger Lakes Trail, which crosses much of New York State and is maintained by the nonprofit Finger Lakes Trail Conference. If you enjoy running on our local trails, consider supporting the Finger Lakes Trail Conference’s efforts to develop and maintain the Finger Lakes Trail. Support Finger Lakes Trails

WHERE

Both distances start and finish at the Hauck Hill campsite on Hauck Hill Road in Virgil, NY. Navigate to the intersection of Hauck Hill Road and Bleck Road; the campsite is 0.4 miles down the rugged (dirt) side of Hauck Hill Road. Parking is allowed ONLY on the right side of the road as you head into the start.

FLRC encourages runners to carpool to make the race more inclusive for those without cars, help fight climate change, and ease parking congestion—sign up to drive or ride.

This race is run within James Kennedy State Forest and on private land owned by Greek Peak Mountain Resort. FLRC recognizes that this park is on traditional lands of the Indigenous Onondaga Nation and Indigenous Tuscarora Nation, part of the larger Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations, long before New York State existed. As you run our race, please respect the land and acknowledge this history and the Indigenous people’s relationship to it.

WHEN

The 15K race starts at 9 AM, followed by the 7K at 9:15 AM. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your race to pick up your bib.

COURSE

For real-time, turn-by-turn directions, download the free RunGo app to your phone and search for “Forest Frolic”. You can run with your phone and use the app to give audible cues when and where to turn. The map is GPS-based, so lack of cell service in the forest will not affect navigation. Direct link to the route. Note that the Forest Frolic 15K race day course and the FLRC Challenge Forest Frolic course are one in the same.

NOTES

A port-a-john will be available, but there are no showers. See “primitive” campsite above.
No littering! All human refuse and remains on the trail must be buried. Because… blech!
The Central New York Wilderness Search & Rescue crew will be on hand to help. Let’s try to ensure they’re bored.
Tasty post-race food (fruit, cookies, etc.) and drinks (water, Gatorade, soda, beer) will be provided.
Results will be made available shortly after the race here and via Webscorer.
This race is part of the Finger Lakes Trail Circuit, for all you Pebbleheads, Stoneheads, and Boulderheads.
For remaining questions other than directions, contact race directors Peter Dady (dady@toast.net) or Mike Stone (me.runalot@gmail.com).

WARNINGS

Look for trail markers and blazes or you’ll end up off course! As with all trail runs, it’s on you to pay attention.
Many will get lost momentarily. If you see no blazes ahead of you, go back!
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 be a problem this time of year; if so, carry fluids and watch for symptoms of heat exhaustion!

Entry fees are non-refundable, even if the race is canceled because of an act of nature or any other reason.
If you need accommodation for a disability to participate in this event, please contact the FLRC Diversity and Inclusion Committee chair at diversity@fingerlakesrunners.org.
