ABOUT

The Forge the Gorgeous trail race offers two distances so everyone can have fun on the trails. The 7-mile course is two scenic, partially overlapping loops. Those looking for a shorter distance can choose to run one loop for 3.5 miles. All runners start together near the park entrance, and both distances will count toward our Stonehead, Pebblehead, and Boulderhead standings. Note that the 2021 race has been moved back to its traditional Thursday evening date and will kick off the annual Fillmore Days festival.

The route winds along wooded trails on the north and south rims of the Fillmore Glen Gorge, with a brief stretch along a quiet park road. (Be prepared for a lot of stairs in the first and last miles!) The course highlight is where the trail drops into the gorge itself and repeatedly crosses the creek over a series of bridges. The course is well-marked and water stops are provided. If previous years are any indication, the weather may be unpredictable, but the scenery will always be gorgeous!

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

Bib pick-up is at the main pavilion at Fillmore Glen State Park—1686 Route 38, Moravia, NY 13118.

Be prepared to show an Empire Pass or pay an $8.00 vehicle fee to the park.

This race is run entirely within Fillmore Glen State Park. 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.

The 3.5-mile and 7-mile races start together at 6:00 PM. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start to pick up your bib.

Heat could be a problem this time of year; if so, carry fluids and watch for symptoms of heat exhaustion!
