Conquer The Trail 5k

Come join us for our 10th year of the annual Conquer The Trail Race presented by Conquer The World / C.T.W Endurance and the Mercy University Exercise Science Program.  This year we are taking the race back to its roots with just a 5k taking place on Sunday April 27th, 2025 at Mercy University in Dobbs Ferry, NY.  The 5k will take you out and back on the. flat, and fast Old Croton Aqueduct Trail with one hill before you cross the finish.

We are excited this race is in its 10th and hope to see you out with us for the celebration! Proceeds from this year's race will go to support the Midnight Run Organization (https://midnightrun.org/)  Midnight Run coordinates over 1,000 relief missions per year, in which volunteers from churches, synagogues, schools and other civic groups distribute food, clothing, blankets and personal care items to the homeless poor on the streets of New York City. The late-night relief efforts create a forum for trust, sharing, understanding and affection. That human exchange, rather than the exchange of goods, is the essence of the Midnight Run mission.

Awards will be given to the Top Three Overall Male and Females for both races.  When parking at Mercy please follow signs for the event and directions by our volunteers.  Parking is free.  Race day Registration and packet pickup will end PROMPTLY at 8:45am so the event can start on time, please plan on arriving early.  The race will start at 9:00am.

Please be aware the 5k is going to be run mostly on trail, and although it is flat in regards to elevation there are rocks, stumps, and tree roots so please stay aware and pay attention throughout the race.  Looking forward to seeing you all on race day!
