TRAIL RUNNING ETIQUETTE                                                                                                                  In the spring of 2008 the American Trail Running Association developed "Rules on the Run" which are principles of trail running etiquette that foster environmentally-sound and socially-responsible trail running. Trail race etiquette for the race director and competitor are included in these principles. The Green Lakes Endurance Runs adheres to these principles and requests that its participants do so as well. An abbreviated version of  "Rules on the Run" can be found on the Trail Running Etiquette page.

Green Lakes State Park is a treasure just east of Syracuse, New York. The park takes its name from two glacially-formed lakes (Green & Round Lake) which get their distinctive color from deep clear waters and minerals. Round Lake is designated a National Natural Landmark.
Of the park's 1,756 acres, surveys have found nearly 800 acres of old growth forest. This multi-use park has campgrounds, miles of hiking/biking trails, and a golf course with restaurant. The beach area includes picnic areas, a concession stand, beach house showers, and a playground. This is a nice setting for family and crew.
