Trail Running at the Paul Smith's College VIC

Summer Sports at the Paul Smiths VIC: Trail RunningThe VIC is continuing its tradition of offering a series of summer trail runs. These runs are part of the 2014 Adirondack Trail Race Series, hosted by the Paul Smith's College VIC and High Peaks Cyclery. The bark mulch trails and grassy service roads at the 3,000-acre VIC make ideal conditions for trail runners to get out and enjoy a run in the woods.  Scenic vistas, opportunities to see wild life, and well-maintained trails are bonuses people have discovered at the VIC.
