Come join us for our 7th year of the annual Conquer The Trail Race Series presented by Conquer The World / C.T.W Endurance and the Mercy College Exercise Science Program. The 5k and 10k races will take place on Sunday April 24th, 2022 at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, NY. Both races will run out and back along the scenic. flat, and fast Old Croton Aqueduct Trail.

Proceeds from the race will be donated the Midnight Run Organization. Midnight Run is a volunteer organization dedicated to finding common ground between the housed and the homeless.

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.
Midnight Run is not a solution to homelessness. Our goal is to forge a bond between housed and homeless people by establishing a foundation of sharing and caring from which solutions may evolve. Through Midnight Run, volunteers come to see people on the streets as real people, not a commodity. And homeless men and women interact with mainstream adults and teenagers whose commitments and concerns go beyond their own lives and families.

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 8:30am so the event can start on time, please plan on arriving early.
Please be aware the 5k and 10k are 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!
