The Raven Rocks Run is a challenging 10k trail run at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River, NY.
Race is Sunday, November 9th, 2025 starting at 9am.
The race will start in the Meadow – parking is in the meadow lot and overflow parking is on the upper meadow.
The course passes by the spot where the Leatherman’s Loop begins. Instead of heading towards the river as the Loop does, the Raven Rocks Run 10k course climbs and climbs up to the two highest points in the park (Raven Rocks Overlook and the Fire Tower Summit) before heading back for a (mostly) downhill and (relatively) flat finish.
The course passes by the site of the former Cross River Mountain fire tower which is the highest point in the park. We have been heavily involved with a group working towards getting back the tower to its former spot in the park and there is good news on the return of the fire tower!
See Course Map page for course details.
More information about the race and tower project is on the About page and the FAQ page of our ravenrocksrun.org website.
Sign up ASAP – summer and early fall signups get the early raven discount!
We have gotten close to our limit the last few times we put on the race — so it could get full, or it may not. It depends on the runner demand!
