Starting and finishing in historic Rockwood Hall, our annual Rockwood Ramble 10K is a crowd favorite. Scenic Hudson River views greet runners before the course veers into the woods. The wide carriage roads provide the perfect setting for experienced trail runners and first-timers. Say goodbye to traffic, pavement and noise and hello to the Rockefeller State Park Preserve! Race Director Laureen Fitzgerald sees to every detail, ensuring a first-rate experience for all participants. All proceeds benefit carriage road maintenance.

Everyone starts together...but eventually you have to choose...left or right? We can't decide for you, but that's half the fun as Peace, Love, Trails presents the Fork In The Trail 5k!

The race starts and finishes at the Fox Lane High School campus in Bedford and takes you into the beautiful Westmoreland Sanctuary where everyone runs the same course, but you decide the direction!

Race starts at 9am, and is a rain or shine event!

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND! DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE SANCTUARY!!!

We love seeing and caring for our wildlife friends and we cannot do that effectively if we allow dogs on to the preserve.

Not because we don't like them, but for very real reasons.

Dogs scare away the very animals we work to protect. The dogs’ predator smell will linger for hours, days, and even weeks afterwards– driving away other animals, sometimes permanently.

Peace, Love, Trails welcomes you to Raptor Ridge!

Join us on Sunday, August 23rd at 9am!

Run 6.5 miles of challenging trails in the Westmoreland Sanctuary

The race starts and finishes at the Fox Lane H.S. Campus (at the back of the campus behind the Middle School gym).

See if you have the intestinal fortitude to conquer RAPTOR RIDGE!

Westmoreland Sanctuary is a not-for-profit, independent nature center and wildlife preserve located in Westchester County, New York. The land spans three towns: Bedford, Mount Kisco, and Armonk.

We also need to thank the Fox Lane Sports Booster Club for all their help in allowing us to use the beautiful campus for our race headquarters and for the ever important parking!

We will also be collecting food for the Mt. Kisco Food Pantry. If you would like to personally donate food, please bring non-perishable items that are within the expiration date.

Take on a breathtaking course through the Rockefeller State Preserve, where trails built over a century ago wind past stunning scenery at every turn! Start and finish at Rockwood Hall, with sweeping views of the Hudson River and the Palisades, just off Route 9 in Sleepy Hollow, next to Phelps Hospital. Both the half-marathon and marathon are single-loop adventures on wide, groomed carriage roads, with the marathon showcasing nearly all of the park’s signature sights. Climb and roll past fields, historic stone walls, charming bridges, grazing livestock, sparkling rivers, lush forests, and peaceful lakes; no pavement, no cars, just pure trail bliss. These races are walk-friendly and offer generous cutoff times, so runners of every pace can join in the fun. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply exploring one of the Hudson Valley’s most scenic and historic preserves, the Pocantico Hills Races promise an unforgettable experience!
