Race Details:

*

Date: November 17th
Distances: 50K, 25K, 8 mile, and 5K
Location: Settlers Cabin Park
Course Description: Our race director, Chad, has meticulously crafted a 15.5-mile loop that encompasses every trail and all the best hills in Settlers Cabin Park.

*

All races are a loop. They have slightly different starting points within a short walking distance of Cayuga shelter but they will all finish in the same spot at Cayuga.



5K: Not your typical 3.1 miles. This is a great step up/challenge from the typical road 5K.

8 Mile Racers: Get a hard taste of the 15.5 mile loop infamously called the Last trail Standing.
25K Racers: Complete the Last Trail Standing once.
50K Racers: Tackle the Last Trail Standing twice.
With an elevation gain of approximately 3,300 feet and a descent of around 3,100 feet for the full 50K, this race promises to challenge even the most seasoned trail runners.

*

Special Dedication: This race is dedicated to the memory of Chad's father, Harry J. Shipley, whose birthday falls on the race day. The Harry J. Shipley Memorial Run honors his legacy and Chads effort in building this route.

*

"My dad loved old country roads. Every time he drove by a country road he'd ponder where it would go and would often venture down it. I did the same thing in the mapping of this race. Every trail I came to I had to see where it went and eventually connect all of the dots. My Last Trail Standing route will put a notch in every trail at Settlers, thus this route will be the last trail standing and the only way to conquer it, is to join this race." - Chad Shipley
