About The VCTC Pete McArdle 9-mile XC Trail Race

Please join us for Van Cortlandt Track Club’s inaugural newly resurrected 9-mile cross-country race honoring Pete McArdle*, a running pioneer who made running history in Van Cortlandt Park and around the world, from his home country in Ireland to the Bronx and beyond. This race has a long history in Van Cortlandt Park. Some of you might know it from the days that it was a 15k put on by NYRR, last staged in 2019. The original race, held in 1958, was actually 9 miles, had only 14 runners, and was won by Pete McArdle. So in the spirit of remembering its humble origins, we are returning to a 9 mile version. The race entails 3 loops of Van Cortlandt Park’s infamous XC course, in the back hills and around the flats. Not for the faint of heart and guaranteed to challenge you—come to relive running history in a new edition of an iconic race! Awards from Lloyd’s Carrot Cake! Commemorative buffs…
