The Experience

Set in Penn Yan, NY, the Keuka Outlet Trail Half Marathon & 10K winds along the Minnesetah River, showcasing picturesque waterfalls and historic abandoned mills. This event, now in its fifth year, has seen growing participation, with recent editions drawing around 203 finishers from approximately 15 states.

The course itself is a well-maintained trail, offering a beautiful and scenic route that runs 7 miles between Penn Yan and Dresden. With minimal elevation change, it presents a largely flat profile conducive to steady running. Runners can expect a unique blend of natural beauty and historical remnants.

The atmosphere is bolstered by a community feel and a post-race party at the Moose Lodge, complete with music and food. While the typical field size is modest, around 203 finishers, the event has sold out in recent years, indicating its growing popularity. A small but loyal contingent, about 13%, return year after year.
