The Leatherman’s Loop is is a unique 10k trail run featuring river crossings, a quarry climb, beautiful pine forests, swamp land, and the Legend of the Leatherman.
The Loop was founded in 1987 and has been run every year since then. We believe it is the largest trail race on the east coast of the United States and possibly the fourth largest in the United States (depending on the year), with over 1,100 finishers in 2011. If you know of a larger trail race* we are happy to update this information and link to that trail race.
The Loop is usually held the 4th Sunday in April each spring at the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River/Pound Ridge/South Salem, NY.
