Gardiner Dump Run

The Gardiner Dump Run is a 5K trail race at Riverbend Trails in Gardiner Park, starting from 139 Steve's Lane in Gardiner, New York. Participants can opt for a 10K by completing the loop twice. The course primarily follows single-track trail through wooded hillsides, open fields, and land adjacent to the Wallkill River, situated behind the town transfer station. The race name references the property's historical use. The area is now Gardiner Park, with Riverbend Trails developed by the Gardiner Trail Alliance. This alliance also organizes the race, which features straightforward short trail racing, day-of registration, and a local athletic shoe recycling program offering a coupon for each donated pair.
