The Trailwagger

Race Date

Our 1st annual race will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025. The race starts at 9:00am. The race ends at Saturday, October 11 at 5:00pm.

We are very excited to announce a new collaboration between Super Heroes Humane Society and The Clark Sports Center Events team! The inaugural Trailwagger will be October 11, 2025, and held on the amazing trails of Gilbert Lake State Park. No cars to worry about and racers will be treated to beautiful fall colors. A portion of the funds from the event will support the Super Heroes Humane Society.

Race Location

All races take place at Gilbert Lake State Park, 790 County Route 12, Laurens, NY 13796.

  • The 3-mile run/walk takes place on some paved roads in the park and also on the trails.
  • Our 5-mile run/walk is mostly trail running, and you get to see a couple of the ponds and creeks on the grounds.
  • If 5 miles isn’t long enough, you can combine the 5-mile with the 3-mile and see 8 miles of the park’s trails by signup for as a two-person team.

Bring your four-legged family member for a stroll around the lake!
