Salt City Trail Racing, in partnership with Allegany State Park, is pleased to announce the 6th annual running of Nelson’s Summit 50/50. The largest of New York State parks at almost 65,000 acres, rugged, majestic Allegany State Park will leave you amazed, in awe, and wanting to come back for more adventure and exploration. Choose from 50 miles, 50km, or 25km on a course made up of both groomed trail, single track, and rolling hills. If you’re not breathless from the running and “rolling” hills, you will be as you peer through the trees and vistas at the surrounding valleys. As you make your way around the course, you’ll be supported by an amazing group of trail and ultra runners, volunteers, friends, family, and 2 well-stocked aid stations.
