Sterling Squatch Half Marathon

Sassquad Trail Running and the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference are proud to present the Sterling SquaTCh Half Marathon (the capitalized "TC" in SquaTCh stands for "Trail Conference"!!) Join us on Saturday June 8, 2024 at 9am for this trail half marathon. You'll enjoy gorgeous rolling singletracks through rhododendrons, pass by beautiful lakes, meadows and a waterfall. This event is hiker-friendly, family-friendly, newbie-friendly; come one, come all! Our Trail Parties are always open to all peoples, ages and paces.

Come out to the magical Sterling Forest to enjoy the Sterling Squatch! We've teamed up with the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference to put together an incredible course that is packed with trail beauty! This will be the final year for the Sterling Squatch Half Marathon so come out to the trails to enjoy this one before it's retired! We work hard to keep our races affordable and maintain our commitment to supporting our charity partners with our races; the off-site parking + shuttle buses for the Sterling Half is pulling us away from these two goals which is why we are retiring this event. But don't worry, we've got another Trail Party in the works for June of 2025!
