Get ready to conquer the trails at the Red Wing Trail Challenge, set for Sunday, July 5, 2026, at the scenic Red Wing Recreation Area in Lagrangeville, NY. This event, presented by Conquer The World Endurance, offers a true test of grit across 15K, 30K, and 60K distances, all utilizing a challenging yet generally runnable 15K loop. Runners will navigate a diverse course featuring grass, gravel, single track, double track, dirt, and rocks, accumulating approximately 1625 feet of elevation gain with each loop. The 60K ultra will tackle four laps for a formidable 6500-6600 feet of total gain, while the 30K covers two laps with about 3300 feet of gain.

Designed to be both challenging and enjoyable, the Red Wing Trail Challenge is well-supported to help you push your limits. Aid stations strategically placed on the course and at the start-finish area will be stocked with water, Skratch, UCAN, and essential snacks like pretzels, bagels, and bananas. For 60K participants, a dedicated area at the start-finish allows for convenient access to personal fuel and hydration on each lap, making the looped format a strategic advantage. Typical race day conditions in early July include highs around 85F and lows around 62F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, and runners have noted the course offers ample shade.
