About this race
The Second Annual Fire Tower Trail Half Marathon and 10k Race are set for Sunday June 6, 2027 at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River, NY.
The race celebrates the return of the historic fire tower to its former spot atop the Cross River Mountain in Pound Ridge.
Both the half marathon and the 10k course pass by the summit where the fire tower is currently being reconstructed by the county parks department.
The half marathon circumnavigates the park trails, hitting all of three the overlooks (Spy Rock, Raven Rocks, and the Leatherman Overlook) 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. The elevation change for the 10k is 1006 feet. The half marathon elevation change is approximately 2360 feet. See Strava maps below and at the crmfiretower.org website
