Black Diamond Express 5K & Half Marathon Races

Mendon Mauler Trail Run - 4 Miles or 8 Miles

Location: Stewart Lodge, Mendon Ponds Park

Enjoy the picturesque Mendon Ponds Park, complete with wonderful fauna filled trails, perfect inclines (gotta be positive about them) and a great way to spend a Friday Night!

Start Time: Friday, June 12, 2026 @ 6:00PM

Please note - All 8-milers must begin their 2nd lap by 7:15PM.

The course is a 4-mile-ish loop; therefore 8 milers do 2 loops. Trail shoes are highly recommended. As a true trail run, cross country spikes are not suggested.

It is highly suggested to carry your own fluids. There are no hydration stops on the 4-mile course, 8-mile participants can fill up at the end of loop 1. Being a CUP FREE EVENT please carry a reusable cup with you and don't just drink from the spout. It can be the surface of the sun hot & humid.

By registering for this event, you are acknowledging that the date, time, location, and distance of the race may be changed, switched to virtual, or canceled at any time as deemed necessary by the Race Directors due to circumstances beyond their control. In the event that any of these scenarios happens or any other, there will be no refunds, transfers, or deferrals allowed unless otherwise stated.

Join us on June 20th, 2026 and celebrate the 34th Anniversary of the Rhulen Rock Hill Run & Ramble (R4). This 5k is an iconic local race and one of the longest standing in the Hudson Valley.

We moved down the hill to Holiday Mountain Ski Area in 2023, where we have a new USTAF Certified 5K Course. It is scenic and fast!

The 5K is hosted by The Trevor Loughlin Foundation, which is inspired to make a difference in the lives of patients battling acute, catastrophic illnesses and all blood cancers. The battle to cure leukemia became a personal one for Race Director Suzy Loughlin and her family, when in 1998, her father, Walter Rhulen, died of leukemia. Walter, a dedicated runner, was committed to the health of his community.

In 2013, another tragedy resulted in the death of Suzy’s son Trevor, 21. The Trevor Loughlin Foundation is fueled by the force of a parent who wants her child to be remembered, along with the patients we have lost. Thanks to the generosity of many friends, family, volunteers, sponsors and donors who support Suzy and the TLF mission, grants are awarded to patients to provide financial help for living/medical expenses at a time when they need to focus on getting well.

Thank you for signing up for the R4 and being part of our TLF family. Thank you for choosing to matter.
