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

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

Early starters: 11 am for runners who expect to run over 2:45. You MUST start at

gives early starters 3 hours and 15 minutes to finish. Please make sure the timer knows
you are starting early.

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.
(Additional $5 discount for club members: login to your account at zippyregclubhub.com/members/?org=4 and select “Club Race Calendar” for details.)
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. There is a “virtual option” to run the course on your own from 11/14-11/20.

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.
Come experience breathtaking scenic views around every bend in the midst of the fall foliage. A mostly flat course, yet with just enough challenge to offer the sense of accomplishment desired.
Run across the trail that made the National Rails to Trails Conservancy’s top ten- list of most “iconic rail trails.” You will cross over the 144- year old historic Rosendale trestle bridge, which extends 900 ft. across the Rondout creek. The race will take you along scenic lakes and through a cave. Come experience the dramatic scenery of the enchanting town of Rosendale that helped build the Brooklyn Bridge with its natural limestone cement.
All proceeds (100%) will go to the Town of Rosendale Recreation Department/Youth Center.
There is a cap of 250 registrants for the entire event. Race day registration will be available if the event doesn’t sell out ahead of time.
The Shawangunk Runners are committed to offering affordable running events to the community. The race has commemorative medals for the first 150 entrants, unique awards in all standard 10-year age groups, and plentiful refreshments for everyone.

Hi All
I made a quick run through the results to create point totals for the weeks. Reminder that you need 4 points and at least have run 3 of the races. I’ve marked those in green who have already hit this. Tonight is the last night of the series and last chance to grab some points.
If you notice any issues (I’m sure there are some) please contact me at christopher.regan@gmail.com

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.
