Summer Trail Fest and Ultra & run

3/5
(1)
Yes, we know what it stands for. STFU is the perfect summer trail race, whether you’re chasing your first finish or a new PR. The course at Sleepy Hollow State Park is 90% scenic, runnable trail with generous cutoff times. You’ll find well-stocked aid stations, clear course markings, and a supportive trail community. The 50K, Half, & 5 Mile also feature Ruck Divisions! After your race, head to the beach and refuel—Trivium will be on the grill serving burgers, hot dogs, and sides for all participants. New in 2026: Spectators can join the celebration with a picnic ticket! And if you’ve run Winter Trail Fest, don’t forget—your STFU and WTF medals magnetically connect. Need a little push? Quit the excuses and STFU & Run!

Summary

This was the first year STFU had a 50 mile distance so there is a lot of room to grow. The course is gorgeous, 5/5 star rating there. There were many missed opportunities with aid station cooling and food availability.
