Join us on the test run of what we hope to make an organized race next year! This is a short but steep trail run up to the top of Tremper Mountain. It’s definitely a challenge but you’ll be rewarded with incredible views at the fire tower on the summit. The distance is around 3 miles and the elevation gain is about 2000 feet. The run is a steady climb most of the time, but there are the occasional flat sections on switchbacks to provide some relief. To add a bit of competitive fun, the first to the top will receive a $50 gift certificate to Storehouse…our outdoor gear shop in Phoenicia. We’re also going to make t-shirts to commemorate the event with the awesome logo designed by Steven Weinberg of Steven Weinberg Studio and the Spruceton Inn. Stay tuned for details on how to purchase one. We’re excited about making this event a yearly organized race and look forward to making that a reality through your participation!

We are asking for a $10 donation, which will go toward the Catskill Fire Tower Project: a volunteer effort administered in part by the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development and in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
