About the Event

Embrace the long, eerie shadows of a winter afternoon on a classic Upstate New York trail loop. Devil's Shadow Winter Trail Races return on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at Mendon Ponds Park, offering a 50k, 25k, and 5-mile adventure around the hauntingly beautiful Devil's Bathtub. Starting at high noon, runners will watch their shadows stretch across the glacial eskers before finishing loops in the warm, communal glow of Hopkins Point Lodge, complete with hot cider, bone broth, and local beer. As part of the collaborative Common Ground Winter Trail Series, this event prioritizes camaraderie over competition, with relaxed policies on transfers and refunds. Experience the unique, welcoming spirit of a winter ultra where the shared struggle against the cold and dark is the true reward. Secure your spot for a deeply satisfying and atmospheric run that celebrates the heart of the trail community.

About Honeoye Falls

Scenic view of

Honeoye Falls is a village within the town of Mendon in Monroe County, New York, United States. The population was 2,706 at the 2020 census. The village is sited next to a small waterfall on Honeoye Creek, which gives the village its name. The name "Honeoye" comes from the Seneca word ha-ne-a-yah, which means "lying finger", or "where the finger lies". The name comes from the local story of a Native American whose finger was bitten by a rattlesnake and who therefore cut off his finger with a tomahawk.
