2018 New Paltz XC Summer Series Point Totals (Hopefully Fixed)

Thanks to all that pointed out there was an issue with the overall points. I went back and noticed instead of including Lou’s Run I had pulled Undercliff Overcliff into the results twice.

Saying that…here’s the new update

Again, if you see any issues please don’t hesitate to contact me so I can fix my code.

2018 New Paltz XC Series #4 Results

What a great evening to finish off the races in the series. I believe Steve said this is the first year we’ve had over 200 finishers in each of the races. I mean, why wouldn’t they get more popular as they are in beautiful places with great people.

Once again I’d like to thank the volunteers immensely for their help in putting on these races. Without them there wouldn’t be any water being handed out or food ready to eat when you got back in. I’d like to suggest everyone volunteer for at least 1 race a year to get a feel for how much goes into a race. It gives you a completely different perspective and sense of accomplishment.

Results from week 4 are available below…
Lou’s Run – 2018 Summer Series Race 4 – Lou’s Run
Kids Mile & Half Mile – 2018 Summer Series Race 4 – Lous Run (Kids)

Here are the points standings after 4 races. Reminder that you needed at least 2 races and 4 points to get an award next week. The kids needed the same but if they run next week at the fun run they get a chance to earn another point.
Overall – Update: I’ve gotten a few people mentioning things are off with point totals so i’m looking into it.

Thank you all for the amazing turnout to the races. Next week is the fun run where you have 45 minutes to run as much as you like. We start at Garvan’s Gastropub in New Paltz, NY. After the run we’ll go into handing out the awards.

Hope to see a lot of turnout next week to get in a run together. I’m excited to get to run.

If you see any issues with results or have questions please contact me

2018 New Paltz XC Summer Series #3 Results

Well, it was a muggy one out there last night but at least the heavy rain held off. We had a good turnout and I hope everyone made the right choice in their path that they chose.

Next week we move to the Spring Farm Trailhead in the Mohonk Preserve for Lou’s Run. Hoping the weather will be nice and we’ll all get to enjoy the last “race” in the series.

Let me know if there are any issues or corrections needed and we’ll see you next week…WITH YOUR BIBS 😀

2018 New Paltz XC Summer Series #2 – Blueberry Run Results

What an amazing turnout last night! Honestly I was surprised with the temperature and possible storms to have so many come out. Hopefully some of you enjoyed the cool water of Lake Minnewaska before or after the run. All in all it was a pretty nice evening for mid July.

First I want to get the bad news out of the way. We had some issues with our canine friends running with participants in the race. Because of this we need to implement a “no dogs” rule for future races. While we do love our furry friends we need to ensure the safety of all our participants. Thank you for your understanding and consideration of others.

Results from last night are available below…
Adults – 2018 Summer Series Race 2 – Blueberry Run
Kids – 2018 Summer Series Race 2 – Blueberry Run (Kids)
Note: 30 kids is also an incredible turnout

I’ve also slightly updated last weeks results with some changes in ages
Adults – 2018 Summer Series Race 1 – Pattersons Pellet
Kids – 2018 Summer Series Race 1 – Pattersons Pellet (Kids)

I’ll be working on getting the series point totals together over the next few days and will post that in a separate post.

Next week we move to the Mohonk Preserve. The race begins near the new bridge over 44/55 and allows 2 choices for your race path. 4.7 miles of carriage roads on Undercliff / Overcliff. There is absolutely no parking on 44/55! You will get ticketed or towed.
Parking is available in the West Trapps lot or at the Mohonk Preserve Visitor Center. The Visitor Center is a short tough hike up but a good warmup for the race. Make sure to leave yourself enough time to get to the race and carpool to save spots.

Finally don’t forget to bring back your bibs, please!!! 😀

See ya next week!

2018 New Paltz XC Summer Series #1 – Pattersons Pellet Results

First off…bring your bibs back next week as the same bib/chip will be used for timing

We had a great turnout for the first night of the summer series. The weather was magnificent and I honestly can’t say anything bad about the night. Hopefully you all enjoyed it just as much. Plus, it was the shortest and easiest of the series so there’s that…think of it as a warmup.

Thanks again to all the wonderful volunteers who help make the races great events.

I need to work on the points and will post that after next weeks race.

Reminder that next week is the Blueberry Run which is about 4 miles on carriage roads and grass surfaces. Same place as this weeks run. Kids start at 6:45 with adults following as close to 7 as possible.
