It is with utmost displeasure I have to write this post.

We have been in discussions with the Mohonk Preserve over the past few days about the impending storm. While we wanted to wait and see how things looked on Saturday the outlook for the mountain is for a significant snowfall amount. Since temperatures on the mountain tend to be lower and there are areas that get little in the way of sunlight it has been determined that there may be some treacherous areas. With wet snow, ice and water on top of a layer of leaves we find it in the best interest of everyone to cancel the After The Leaves Half Marathon.

We understand that many, if not all, will be disappointed with this decision. We too are disappointed we can’t have the race. Many hours by multiple people have gone into having everything ready for you come Sunday.

We have made the decision to refund you the full amount of your entry. Thanks to ZippyReg for allowing us to do this. If you ever need a platform for online registrations for races please consider them, they are a wonderful team out of Albany. http://zippyreg.com

We hope to see you at future events!

P.S. We’re going to try to reschedule the event for early spring (before the trees bud). We’ll make sure to send an email to all those who were registered if we decide to go that route.
