2026 Fire Tower Trail Half Marathon & 10k

Race Information

The race celebrates the return of the historic fire tower to its former spot atop the Cross River Mountain at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation county park. The half marathon circumnavigates the park trails, hitting all of three of the overlooks and rock features highlighed on the trail map. The 10k is shorter but still a challenge to the top of the park. More details about the race and course including course maps are available at the website. We are raising money for the "Friends of the Fire Tower" as we put on this race -- and continuing afterwards. The Friends group is part of the Westchester Parks Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit. ....Rob & Ciorsdan, Race directors
