Thom B Trail Runs - Dryden, New York - Running

The Thom B Trail Runs is a Running race in Dryden, New York consisting of a 13K Trail Run and 26K Trail Run and 42K Trail Run.

This race is named in memory of Thom Bugliosi, who died in 1991 at age 32 when he was the top trail runner in the area. Thom loved running trails, and although he never ran this course, we're sure he'd like it.

The race takes place within Hammond Hill State Forest and consists of a 13K loop that is run twice for the 26K and three times (plus a baby loop) for the 42K trail marathon. The course uses both the Finger Lakes Trail and the extensive DEC trail system. The route will be marked with colored ribbons, and intersections will be indicated with orange arrows. These trails are rugged and challenging, but you'll enjoy the flora-oaks, beeches, maples, and evergreens-carefully groomed mud, and, due to the lack of leaves this time of year, some nice views of the surrounding valleys. There will be two unmanned aid stations along the course, plus another at start/finish area for those running the 26K or 42K. All runners will be treated to an array of tasty post-race snacks.
