to join us at some upcoming local races!
With the temperatures reaching into the 60’s hopefully you’re getting out and wiping off the cobwebs of your running shoes. After what seemed like an extra cold winter I’m happy to be able to get outside in short and a t-shirt even if it’s not quite spring yet.
Here’s a couple upcoming races that we’ll be participating in and/or helping at and we invite you to come out and join us. Each one is for it’s own amazing cause…no big companies just out to make a buck.
Have you been training all winter and now you’re ready to rock a half? Well the Celebrate Life Half Marathon has been going strong for years and touts itself as Not a Race. An Experience. Having run the race personally 5 times I can attest to it’s greatness. There may be a few hills, but when you’re struggling to climb them, just remember those with cancer who are getting helped because you supported this race.

Next up for those who may not be prepared for a half the Rock and Snow “Bridge 2 Bridge” Run is a great way to get in some miles in the beautiful Mohonk Preserve on some crunchy carriage roads. 5 miles through the trees, over the bridges, and next to streams…you won’t regret this run. All proceeds go to benefit the Mohonk Preserve.
Saturday April 14, 2018 in High Falls, NY

Finally, the shortest race but, might I say, the most fun. There’s nothing like finishing on the track to really make you feel like you’re racing to the finish line. This race also includes a free children’s race for the kiddos. It is held at Dietz Stadium and uses a course through the uptown neighborhood. All proceeds go the Raymond Caddy Memorial Scholarship Fund at Kingston High School. This event is well organized and has a well marked, manned and accurate course.
