About the ROB'S TRAIL RUN EDITION

The course runs a single loop through the trail system at Stillwell Woods Preserve, a wooded park in Woodbury. Expect natural singletrack with the kind of footing that changes with the season. The race honors the memory of a local runner who was part of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Road Runners Club, and proceeds benefit a center for developmental disabilities.

Packet pickup is at the race site on the morning of the event, and check-in closes before the start, so arriving early matters. Parking is at the soccer fields inside the park; if the lot fills, street parking nearby means a short walk to the glider field where check-in is set up.

Common Questions About the ROB'S TRAIL RUN EDITION

Will I finish last at the ROB'S TRAIL RUN EDITION?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:12, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:10:56, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the ROB'S TRAIL RUN EDITION a good first 5K?

It is a small race (168 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the ROB'S TRAIL RUN EDITION?

The 5K winner ran 22:05 while the median finisher took 33:12. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
