The 24th Annual RidgeWalk & Run Event, located in beautiful southwestern New York State takes place each fall as the hillsides are turning into a kaleidoscope of rich reds, oranges and yellows. Our event encompasses many events so if you are looking for a casual stroll through the woods or like a competitive long run we are just what you are looking for.
Sign up today, only the first 900 registrations will receive our highly acclaimed amenity bags and commemorative t-shirts!
Our event began in 1993 as a group of trail runners were approached to create a walk/run event that would weave together nature, fitness, and fun. In the years since its inception the RidgeWalk & Run has moved from humble beginnings to an event hosting as many as 1,100 participants annually.
The RidgeWalk & Run is one of the area’s largest and certainly one of the most totally unique fall active lifestyle events that promotes good health for all ages, levels of fitness, and physical ability. Events conclude on a gorgeous horse farm with festivities including music, refreshments, and kids’ activities.

• 5K Competitive Run

Races offered by this event
15 Mile Trail Run
Bus Leaves: 8:15 AM
Welcome to the Ridgewalk’s most challenging trail! Push yourself or
casually walk this terminator trail. It features steep, rocky, and
sometimes wet sections, as well as significant climbs and descents of 800 feet or more. The reward is the awesome beauty on a clear day while negotiating wild, remote and challenging footpaths that wind you slowly northeast to the finish line. Extra hydration is a must, so carry a bottle of water; but don’t worry; 6 aid stations will be along the way!

Extra hydration is a must, so carry a bottle of water; but don’t worry; 6 aid stations will be along the way!
A cutoff time of 1:30 PM WILL BE ENFORCED at Reddy Rd. Aid Station at approximately 3.6 mi. to go. Anyone coming through after 1:30 PM will be asked to be shuttled to the finish line for their safety. To make the cut off you must cover at least 2.5 miles per hour. With still some tough terrain in the last 3.6 miles it would mean the participant could not make the finish line before 3:00 PM at the earliest and we will be running out of busses and food by that time.

The prettiest and most remote areas in Alma Township are featured in this walk. Be prepared to spend up to 3 hours on the trails.
A cutoff time of 1:30 PM WILL BE ENFORCED at Reddy Rd. Aid Station at approximately 3.6 mi. to go. Anyone coming through after 1:30 PM will be asked to be shuttled to the finish line for their safety. To make the cut off you must cover at least 2.0 miles per hour.

6 Mile Walk
Buses leave continuously between: 10:00 -10:30 AM
The 6 Mile Walk starts on a forest road then onto a rugged trail. After following and crossing a short section of paved road, the trail continues North-West on more forgiving terrain until it passes through the Reddy Road Aid Stationat 3.6 mi. to go.
A cutoff time of 1:30 PM WILL BE ENFORCED at Reddy Rd. Aid Station at approximately 3.6 mi. to go. Anyone coming through after 1:30 PM will be asked to be shuttled to the finish line for their safety. To make the cut off you must cover at least 1.0 mile per hour. With still some tough terrain in the last 3.6 miles it would mean the participant could not make the finish line before 3:00 PM at the earliest and we will be running out of busses and food by that time. Because the aid station is only 2.4 miles into the 6 mile hike, this is rarely an issue for this event.
