Squatchywaska Mountainfest

Squatchywaska Mountainfest is a mountain trail race in Ellenville, NY, offering two courses: 25K and 10 miles. Runners traverse rugged singletrack, cliffs, and crushed-gravel carriage roads on the Shawangunk Ridge, with about 2,500+ ft of elevation on the 25K and around 1,800 ft on the 10M. The route features technical terrain, sweeping Catskills views, a sky lake, and the iconic Verkeerder Kill Falls.

The event supports Run Wild, Inc., fundraising to protect the falls, with six charity bibs and a $200 donation option. Mandatory gear includes water, calories, a whistle, and a GPX map, underscoring the mountain-running challenge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
