Table Rock Trail Challenge

Salt City Trail Racing, in partnership with Clark Reservation State Park, is pleased to announce the 9th annual Table Rock Trail Challenge, the third event of our 2025 race series. Prices increase after December 1, 2024 and then again on January 1, 2025. Runners who register after May 29, 2025 are not guaranteed a t-shirt. The race is a Last One Standing event on a looped course with descending lap cut-off times held on the enchanting trails of Clark Reservation State Park. The park is geological point of interest for its many fossils and glacially produced features including the "table rock" limestone formations for which the race is named. Table Rock Trail Challenge has become a tradition for many CNY trail runners and a family favorite; runners start each lap together, giving runners of different speeds an opportunity to walk, jog, and then run together. Whether you're a seasoned vet or new to the format, you WILL be challenged by this race as you battle the summer heat and humidity, alternatingly runnable and treacherous trail, other runners, and your own ego in the quest to complete as many laps as you can. However, just like in Big's Backyard Ultra, the inspiration for Table Rock Trail Challenge, if you want to win, you need to be the Last One Standing. Everyone else...loses! **NEW in 2025** By popular demand, the race is going back to SATURDAY and will start at 8am. This year's race will include an end-of-the school-year cookout starting at noon, with even more quickly descending cut offs for runners still on course, promising an exciting atmosphere for spectators and more crowd support for the remaining runners. And as in 2024, Last One Standing awards will be given to the last male and female runners standing. Table Rock Trail Challenge was the original event founded by Scott English that grew into the Salt City Trail Running series and is a USATF-sanctioned event.
