MFAMTL 6 hour

The MFAMTL 6 hour, hosted by #TrailsRoc, offers a unique endurance challenge on April 4, 2026, in the scenic Durand Eastman Park in Rochester, NY. This timed event invites runners to see how many miles they can accumulate over six hours on a roughly 1-mile loop course. Adding an intriguing twist, participants will switch directions every three hours, providing a fresh perspective and engaging challenge throughout the race.

The course itself is designed to be accessible yet engaging, traversing mostly groomed trails or dirt roads, with one gentle hill to break up the rhythm. Runners will enjoy the beautiful scenery of Durand Eastman Park, including stretches along its picturesque ponds. With typical race day conditions in early April seeing highs around 52F and lows around 33F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation, it promises comfortable running weather. Being a loop race, aid is readily available at the start/finish area, ensuring runners are well-supported as they push their limits in this friendly, community-focused event.

The name "MFAMTL," standing for "Maybe First Annual, Maybe The Last," reflects the playful spirit of this Michael Valone invention, though it has successfully run in previous years, becoming a beloved staple of the local running calendar. Whether you're aiming for a new personal distance record or simply looking to enjoy a supportive and distinctive trail running experience, the MFAMTL 6 hour offers a compelling opportunity to connect with the Rochester running community.
