Join Us for Celebrate Trails Day!
Celebrate Trails Day is an annual springtime celebration of America’s trails. Each year, on the fourth Saturday of April, Rails to Trails Conservancy (RTC) invites everyone to celebrate by getting outside to experience the joy and impact of the country’s trails through events and self-designed outings.
Shake off the winter and step into spring with ECRT’s Fun Run & Walk in West Falls. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a casual stroller, come experience how the Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail connects our vibrant communities.
The Fun Run & Walk will start at 10 am on Saturday, May 2nd behind the former St. George Church at 74 Old Glenwood Road in West Falls.
It's an out-and-back course on the trail from the St. George Church parking lot northbound to the Ellicott Road trailhead, where you'll be directed to turn around and return to the start. You can run or walk as much or as little of the approximately 2.5 mile loop as you want to - this is just for fun! Join us back at the picnic shelter for refreshments when you're done.
To avoid any traffic jams at the start, we will launch the runners first, followed by the walkers. The trail is paved with crushed and packed asphalt millings, so we urge you to wear sturdy running or trail shoes.
This event is free, but even the smallest registration donation (optional) directly funds the development and maintenance of our 27-mile recreational trail, ensuring a safe, accessible path for everyone to enjoy.
