Welcome to the last week of racing for the 2021 New Paltz XC Summer Series. It’s been amazing getting to see so many in person each week. For those who have been doing the virtual versions you’ve been doing great as well.
Let’s start with the most important information for this week PARKING
There are limited spots in the parking lot on Springtown Rd. Please plan to park in New Paltz and walk/run/jog to the start. The trail to the start begins right at the bridge over the Wallkill River on the right-hand side. You will need to give themselves a little extra time to get to the start area.
Race start – https://bit.ly/3zrUifi
Free New Paltz Parking – https://bit.ly/36UWmAu (walk along Huguenot St following the Wallkill river till you reach the bridge.)

Course
The course is approximately 3.00 miles.
Starting & Ending just on the other side of the fence after you cross Springtown Rd you will run along the River To Ridge Trail heading towards Mohonk Preserve. You’ll get a spectacular view of the ridge as you climb up the hills after the initial flat section. Stay to your right when you get to the first intersection. After you reach the top of the 2nd hill you’ll make a left as you round back towards where you came from. A quick right brings you back onto the original trail and you’re back in no time to finish.
