Lace up your trail shoes for the Fall Back into the Trails Series on October 31, 2026, held at the picturesque Red Wing Recreation Area in Lagrangeville, NY. This challenging and rewarding event offers distances for every ambitious runner: a 10K, a 50K, and an epic 100K. The course, approximately 95% unpaved, winds through beautiful and demanding trails, providing a true test of endurance. Each 10-kilometer loop features about 1,000 feet of elevation gain, meaning 5,000 feet for the 50K and a formidable 10,000 feet for those tackling the 100K. As a unique bonus, the race often coincides with the end of daylight saving time, offering runners the metaphorical "extra hour" to conquer the course.

The Fall Back into the Trails Series, which began in 2017, has earned a reputation as an excellent proving ground for both seasoned ultrarunners and those embarking on their first ultramarathon journey. Runners consistently benefit from continuous aid and support throughout the event, with Tailwind Nutrition providing on-course hydration and delicious post-race food from Stage Coach Market awaiting finishers. The 50K and 100K distances are also recognized as UTMB Index races, adding to their prestige. Typical race day conditions include highs around 58°F and lows around 36°F, with a low chance of precipitation, creating crisp and ideal running weather.

Beyond the challenge, participants can look forward to a memorable experience. All finishers receive a unique race shirt and a custom finisher award, with top male and female runners earning special recognition. For those traveling, 50K runners even have the option to camp in the park the night before the race, adding to the camaraderie and adventure of this popular Hudson Valley event.
