The Jenkins Mountain Scramble Trail 10k and Half Marathon at Paul Smith's College VIC offers a unique opportunity to explore the Adirondacks through challenging trail runs. The event features over 40 kilometers of trails across 3,000 acres of forest, mountains, bogs, and streams, providing participants with a truly immersive outdoor experience.
The JMS 10k course takes runners along the edge of Heron Marsh, over Shingle Mills Falls bridge, and through shaded forest trails. Participants will also traverse dirt logging roads and technical single-track sections along the shores of Black and Long ponds before returning to the VIC via Loggers Lope.
The Half Marathon follows the same course as the 10k but includes a challenging climb to the Summit of Jenkins Mountain at 2,513 feet. After reaching the summit, runners return to the base on single-track trails and finish on a boardwalk through a bog habitat.
Registration for the event closes on August 3rd, with packet pickup available on August 9th. Race day features a 10:30 AM start for the Half Marathon and an 11:00 AM start for the 10k, with awards presented at 2:00 PM. Food and beverages will be provided for participants, including hot dogs, hamburgers, snacks, and chocolate milk.
