10K-Läufe in der Nähe von Westport

The Great South Bay Run starts and finishes at Bay Shore Marina Park in Bay Shore, New York, with the Great South Bay and Fire Island visible from the finish. This annual road-running series, sponsored by Northwell Health, offers three USATF-certified courses: a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K Family Fun Run. The routes guide runners through Bay Shore’s historic downtown before proceeding along residential streets near Brightwaters Lakes, Cascades, and Canals. The field typically numbers between 500 and 1,000 participants, giving it the feel of a local Long Island race day rather than a large city marathon. The program accommodates half-marathoners, 10K runners, families, and newer runners.

The Raven Trail Races take runners into the Seven Mountains region of Bald Eagle State Forest in Pennsylvania. Routes traverse Poe Valley’s dark pines, rocky terrain, and quiet woods. This fall trail event offers a 10K covering approximately 6.4 miles with 1,500 feet of elevation gain, and a half marathon of about 13.6 miles with 2,900 feet of gain. The courses combine technical remote singletrack, accessible doubletrack, steep ascents, rocky climbs, stream crossings, and scenic overlooks. The race incorporates Edgar Allan Poe themes, featuring Raven-themed finisher awards. The post-race gathering serves ham and bean soup (with a vegetarian option) prepared in a kettle, alongside opportunities to share trail experiences or recite poetry. It is primarily intended for experienced trail runners, though well-prepared hikers are welcome if they show respect for the environment. Aid stations serve both distances; the half marathon route includes Dry Hollow, Penns View, and Mountain Church, while the 10K utilizes Mountain Church.

The Tarrywile Half Marathon is a November trail race held in Tarrywile Park, Danbury, Connecticut, featuring exclusively unpaved park trails. The event includes a 10K, half marathon, and marathon, all utilizing a consistent hard loop structure: one loop for the 10K, two for the half, and four for the marathon. This course is not a road race with some dirt; it consists of Northeast single track, rocky and rooty sections, and sufficient climbing to significantly slow runners compared to their typical road pace. The 10K involves approximately 1,500 feet of climbing, the half marathon around 3,000 feet, and the marathon reaches about 6,000 feet of elevation gain. Participants gain viewpoints over Danbury and the park's lakes, though these require navigating technical, hilly trails. Hikers and walkers are permitted in the 10K and half marathon provided they can finish within the seven-hour time limit. The event maintains a small scale with a 250-person limit. The half marathon also features a standing cash challenge: bonuses are awarded to the first man finishing under 1:45 and the first woman under 2:00, with the prize pool increasing annually until claimed.

The Westchester Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning 5K and 10K run/walk held at Westchester Community College in Valhalla, New York. The main races begin in the morning, offering timed and untimed 5K options, a 10K, and virtual participation for those preferring to run independently. Northwell Orthopedics sponsors the event, with official information available on TriStateRuns.com. The race is designed for families and regular runners alike. Children 11 and under can enter a 5K Kid's Division Fun Run, which includes an untimed bib and a donut at the finish line. Younger children, 8 and under, can participate in a free 100-meter dash held earlier. Participants are invited to share race-day photos using #TurkeyTradition, reflecting the event's place as a local holiday tradition before Thanksgiving festivities commence.

Hier warten zwei ganz unterschiedliche Abenteuer auf euch. Eine Strecke ist eine schöne, asphaltierte Runde um den Rockland Lake herum, die super läuft, mit weiten Ausblicken und eher flachem Gelände. Die andere führt hoch über den steinigen und anspruchsvollen Long Path. Da geht’s durch Wald und über Felsvorsprünge zum Gipfel des Hook Mountain, wo dich ein 360-Grad-Blick auf den Hudson River erwartet. Unten der See, oben die Berge – und das Ganze mit einer Trail-Party!
