Lace up for an unforgettable summer trail experience at the Webster Trail Classic, set for July 25, 2026, in scenic Webster, NY. This beloved event, organized by TrailsRoc, offers runners a choice of a challenging 10-mile course or a scenic 3.5-mile route, alongside a fun 1-mile Kids Fun Run. Runners consistently praise the Webster Trail Classic for its diverse and engaging terrain, making it a local favorite.

The course is a true highlight, winding through three distinct neighboring parks: Webster Park, Whiting Road Nature Preserve, and Gosnell Big Woods Preserve. Each park presents its own unique style of trail, ranging from open fields and wooded single tracks to bridges and sections with notable elevation changes. The 10-mile distance connects all three, offering a comprehensive tour of the area's natural beauty, including special access to old-growth forests along the Big Woods Trail. The 3.5-mile race largely explores the west side of Webster Park. Runners can expect a mostly shaded course, with hills that provide a good workout without being overly steep. The start and finish are conveniently located near the Park View Lodge on Holt Road in Webster Park.

Typical race day conditions in late July feature comfortable highs around 82F and lows near 63F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal summer running weather. Hydration is key, with water available at the start/finish area and a single, cup-free aid station for 10-milers located roughly halfway through the course in the Gosnell Big Woods Preserve—so remember to bring your own bottle. The Webster Trail Classic isn't just a race; it's an opportunity to connect with nature and fellow outdoor enthusiasts on some of the region's most beautiful trails.
