Event overview
The 19th Annual Medved Madness Trail Races take place on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at Stewart Lodge in Mendon Ponds Park, Honeoye Falls, NY. The event includes three races:
- ~13 miles (Long Course; early-start option available)
- ~5 miles (Short Course)
- a little longer than a half mile (Free Kid's K Trail Race)
Course routes are estimated and are set on race day; the course changes each year because of trail conditions. The Long Course will have one basic aid station around the 5-6 mile mark. Runners are asked to carry their own hydration and nutrition. Long and Short Course participants receive a gender-specific tech t-shirt.

Indoor bathrooms are provided, and organizers note there may be long lines before the race. Shirt exchanges from leftover race shirts are permitted on race day.
