11th Annual Dire Wolf 5 & 10 Mile Trail Race

Hello Participants, I hope this message finds you well. After much thought, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel this year’s Dire Wolf Trail Race. First and foremost, thank you. Over the past 10+ years, your participation and support have made this race possible. This event has directly supported our Cross Country team, and without you, we would not have been able to offer the opportunities to our athletes that we did. We are truly grateful to every runner, volunteer, and supporter who has been part of it. This decision was not made lightly. While we’ve been proud to host this event (my husband and I for the past 7 years), increasing park fees, added processes, and the significant time commitment required to make the race both successful and sustainable have brought us to this crossroads. Those who have already registered will receive full refunds. That said, we would love for this tradition to continue. If anyone is interested in taking over the event in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d be happy to share everything I can to help make the transition smooth. Thank you again for being such an important part of this journey. We’ll always cherish the memories, the community built through this race, and the incredible support you’ve given our athletes. With gratitude, Octorara Cross Country Booster Club
