This one-night-only event brings to life great tales from the running community but you don’t need to be a trail runner to enjoy an evening of fun and camaraderie. The films for 2026 are all new but this is the same film festival we’ve sponsored at the Bedford Playhouse. Tickets are only available in advance and not at the door. Tickets and details ››
Thank you to our sponsors for their generosity. Without their support, this event would not happen.

May 2 @ 7:00 am – 9:00 amOn Saturday, May 2, at 7:00 a.m., meet at the Leon Levy Preserve lot, 2-50 Smith Ridge Rd, South Salem, NY (that’s the closest Google Maps will give me), ready to run a convoluted course of around 7 miles and using every trail in the park including the Levy East half mile extension. Early Risers start at 6:00 for an additional 4 miles.
Note that the pin above may not be entirely accurate and we will not be climbing any of the ruins.

Just a reminder, it’s tick season. Shower and check your skin over after runs, use a bug spray with Deet on your shoes, legs, and arms before a run, and I recommend light-color socks or calf sleeves that have been sprayed with Permethrin, Picaridin, or other bug repellent and allowed to dry. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of doxycycline. For more information about tick bites and tick removal, visit cdc.gov.
Help keep the trails clear by reporting downed trees or other conditions that the park should know about.

The Free Avenza Maps software now has a free trail map of the Reservation available here. You can use that or the free GaiaGPS to load KML files of some of our runs as overlays. Now there’s no excuse to get lost.
