Mrs. McCormick's Ice House

Mrs. McCormick's Ice House takes place in Naples, New York, on January 16, 2027. Two trail distances are offered: an 8 Mile (12.9 km) and a 4 Mile (6.4 km). Start times are not listed in the event data, and both distances are run off road.

These are trail runs in the middle of winter, which means you should plan around footing rather than around a target pace. Shoes with real grip matter more than a fast pair, and traction devices are worth having in your bag if conditions turn. The 4 Mile is the sensible pick if you are new to trail racing or coming back from an off-season, while the 8 Mile suits a runner who already covers an hour or so comfortably. In both cases, run the first mile slower than feels right and let the terrain set the rhythm.
