It was a pretty nice Sunday in November. Much better than last year! Luckily the temperature warmed up a little from Saturday and things weren’t too uncomfortable. Hopefully you all enjoyed the beauty of the trails.

First off we want to thank all the volunteers, who again, without their help we wouldn’t be able to put on our events. We highly recommend volunteering at an event to gain a new appreciation into the sport we love.

We want to thank the Mohonk Preserve for allowing us to hold the race on their property. We will be sending them a list of the emails for Non-Preserve Members and they should be sending you your free day passes.

I’d also like to thank Athletic Brewing for coming to our event and letting you all sample their non-alcoholic brews. You can find more info and where to buy at https://athleticbrewing.com/.
Look for them at other events in the area.

Initial results are available here: 2019 After The Leaves Half Marathon Results
* If you notice any problems or have questions please contact me at christopher.regan@gmail.com

That was our last event for the year but we look forward to seeing you in 2020!!!
