After The Leaves Have Fallen Results

We had a magnificent November day in Minnewaska State Park with partly cloudy skies, temperatures in the low 50’s and no precipitation. With a change to a Half Marathon course we had over a 100 runner increase from last year. 315 people crossed the finish line and received their finisher glass.

I’d like to thank runners for participating, all the volunteers who gave their time without which we couldn’t put on a successful race, and of course Steve Schallenkamp the race director. It takes a lot of time and effort both behind the scenes and day of to put on a race. Luckily the Shawangunk Runners have a great group to make it possible.

Charlotte & Roger Kopp were out on the course taking pictures as well as Bob Kopac. I’m sure they’ll be working hard on looking through and touching up photos. I’ll get links posted as soon as they are ready so keep your eyes peeled for that. Another wonderful set of people who come out and spend their time to take pictures of our runners.

I had a few issues with the timing but have done my best. Please find the results here – Results
* If there are any corrections please email me and I’ll see what needs to be done.

Thank you once again and we look forward to the 2015 race season
