“Come visit the quirky Village of Rosendale, once the home of the world famous Rosendale Cement Company, and now a thriving center of the arts. The Rosendale Plains run will be a 4.3 mile jaunt up through the hamlet of Tillson and back down to Rosendale. The race is going to be low key but since it is organized by the Shawangunk Runners Club it will have a few “surprise frills”. The race will also serve as race #9 in the 2021 Onteora Runners Club Grand Prix. Now that is interclub cooperation at its best. The in-person race will be on 10/9 with a come and run the course on your own “virtual” component from 10/10-10/18. Best of all the race is priced to be affordable for all at $10. $5 of your entry feel will be donated to the Rosendale Recreation Department. We encourage additional donations for the recreation program. All finisher’s receive a certificate plus some “surprise giveaways.”

Next up is the infamous After the Leaves Have Fallen Half Marathon
There is both an in-person event on 11/14 and virtual option.

“We are BACK at Lake Minnewaska for the After the Leaves/Josh Feldt Half Marathon! This run is simply spectacular as we run around two pristine glacial lakes and along the Shawangunk Ridge which affords views into 5 states. The groomed unpaved carriage trails of the Preserve are perfect for running. The Shawangunk Runners Club strives to keep running affordable for all and that explains the low entry fee of $25. Registration is online only. We have a max limit of 300 runners and this race typically sells out. There will be awards in all standard 10 year age groups, refreshments, and a finisher’s gift for all finishers. The race will go off at 11:30 am with packet pickup beginning at 10:30 am. We must be off the trails by 2:15 pm so for people who can’t meet the 2 hour and 45 minute race cut off time we will have an early start time at 11am giving people an extra half hour to finish. If you can’t reasonably finish with a time under 3:15 this race is not for you. The race is Race #10 in the Onteora Runners Club Grand Prix and there is a “virtual option” to run the course on your own from 11/15-11/21.”
