Hello

First, we’d like to thank you for coming to the event today. It may have been blustery at the start and finish but I’m sure it was nice running. Thanks to all the volunteers who make these events possible as well.

Results are available at: https://runsignup.com/Race/Results/139061#resultSetId-355267;perpage:100

Thank you for registering for the After the Leaves/Josh Feldt Half Marathon on 11/13 at
Minnewaska State Park Preserve.

CARPOOLING is strongly encouraged (parking is limited).

The weather forecast is for temps starting in the low 30s and getting into the high 40s
and a chance of showers.

PARKING: look at the course map to see where parking is relative to the start area. It is
approximately 1/2 mile from the upper parking areas. If the upper parking fills the lower
parking area is 1.5 miles (uphill) from the start area, try to avoid arriving late because
then you are in danger of missing the start. Last year some runners who were late
panicked and were rude to the park employees! Again, CARPOOLING is strongly
encouraged (parking is limited).

LOCATION: Minnewaska State Park Preserve 5281 Route 44-55, Kerhonkson, NY
12446 (Google Maps)
Minnewaska charges $10 per car, so carpooling will also save money. Empire Pass is
also accepted.

Start/Finish Area and Check-in (Bib pickup): Begins at 10:30 am and is 1/2 mile from
the parking areas. Head east on the red Minnewaska Carriageway (opposite side from
the Visitors Center). The park opens to the public at 9 am. Signs will direct you toward
the start area/bib pickup.

REGULAR START: 11:30 am for (those capable of running under 2:45)
Early starters: 11 am for runners who expect to run over 2:45. You MUST start at
11:00 am and complete the course by 2:15 pm when the course closes down. That
gives early starters 3 hours and 15 minutes to finish. Please make sure the timer knows
you are starting early.
