Rob's Trail Fest

Rob's Trail Fest is a fall trail-running event in Hemlock, NY, at the south end of Canadice Lake, on Oct 11, 2025. It features three distances: Marathon, 15K, and 5K. The course mixes single-track, gravel, and a small amount of paved surfaces, including two 800-foot climbs on the marathon and a fast out-and-back 15K with mud.

The 5K is a unique point-to-point route starting at Rob's Trail Canadice trailhead, with a steep, technical descent and a speedy finish. Runners enjoy fall foliage views of Hemlock and Canadice lakes. Proceeds support DEC trail maintenance; parking is limited, and check-in opens in the morning.
