The idea for The Witching Hours was born on the Long Island trails, during shared miles and endless conversations among three friends. We lost one of those friends this year, and we are committed to honoring her by carrying forward the same spirit that inspired the race from the beginning.
For us, that means creating a welcoming, safe, and supportive space for trail runners of all backgrounds and experience levels. Whether you’re chasing a new distance PR, trying your first trail event, or simply looking for a day in the woods with good people and good food, you’ll have a place at The Witching Hours.
The race takes place on the trails of Manorville Hills, part of the Paumanok Path and one of Long Island’s most distinctive and expansive trail systems. With 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-hour options, The Witching Hours invites runners and hikers to move at their own pace along a 5K loop featuring pine-lined woods, soft, needle-covered paths, and rolling hills.
The course is runnable and beginner-friendly, while approximately 270 feet of elevation gain per loop provides enough of a challenge to keep experienced trail runners engaged.
What to expect:
• A 5k loop with ~270 ft gain, winding through pines and rolling hills
• 1 well-stocked aid station with lots of tasty treats at start/finish of loop
• Post-race meal
• Come-as-you-are community vibes - walkers, newbies, and experienced runners are all welcome
• Choice of shirt size and finisher medals guaranteed for everyone who signs up by 11/1. After that it will be on a first come first serve basis
• A large covered area will be provided for runners to leave their belongings, no individual tents allowed
We will be hosting 2 training runs on the course- 10/24 and 11/7 at 8am. For more info follow us on Facebook and Instagram @outthererunningcompany
