Winter trail conditions: hardpack snow with icy patches on the Pond Fest trail race loop

Snow, Snacks, and Singletrack: Pond Fest Trail Race Festival Recap

Winter showed up, but so did the stoke. At Chenango Valley State Park, Binghamton’s Pond Fest Trail Race Festival served snowy singletrack, a looped 10K course (hello drop bags + spectators), and an ultra-style aid station spread that kept runners smiling lap after lap. From first-time trail runners to 50K finishers, the day was pure community magic.
