The Mighty Mosquito Trail Fest

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.

We'll be bringing back this this spooky 5K to the Rochester area. The Rochester Boos & Brews 5K will be heading to Mendon, NY for 2026. The 5K will take place on the Lehigh Valley Trail.

Costumes are not required but highly recommended. We will have a costume contest to go along with the Overall Winners and Age Group Winners! This is truly an event where fun and run collide to make ONE!

This event will be a proud partner with David's Refuge (Rochester) as they raise funds to provide respite, resources and support to parents and guardians of children with special needs or life threatening medical conditions where they will be refreshed, restored and renewed in their role as caregivers.

Post race party to enjoy the "Brew" at the Cottage Hotel Restaurant.
