Week 4 of the 2022 New Paltz XC Summer Series!
This week 8/8, is the rescheduled Patterson’s Pellet course at Minnewaska State Park.
3.2 miles long with one water stop at the turnaround (1.6 miles) at the Pellet.
The most IMPORTANT thing to know this week is that we are starting earlier 6:15 pm for the kid’s races and 6:30 pm for the adult run. The park closes at 8 pm!
Bibs are re-used week to week, so please bring your bib back (or Christopher will get angry). For those who didn’t get their bib, Bib Pick begins at 5:30 pm.
The Children’s ½ and one-mile races begin at 6:15 pm, and the longer run goes off around 6:30 pm after the kid’s race finish.
General Notes
Carpooling is needed and strongly advised Minnewaska State Park charges a $10 per car fee (carpool to save money).
Overflow parking will be at the lower Awosting Parking Lot off Rt 44/55, one mile uphill to the start area.
Empire Pass is accepted (but can not be purchased the day of the race it slows down entry to the park too much).
Once you’ve gone through the ticket booth, turn left and go up the mountain towards the visitor center and parking.
We must follow all rules, regulations, and fees of the Park when visiting..
Post-run refreshments will be watermelon, cookies, and water.
