It is with utmost displeasure I have to write this post.
We have been in discussions with the Mohonk Preserve over the past few days about the impending storm. While we wanted to wait and see how things looked on Saturday the outlook for the mountain is for a significant snowfall amount. Since temperatures on the mountain tend to be lower and there are areas that get little in the way of sunlight it has been determined that there may be some treacherous areas. With wet snow, ice and water on top of a layer of leaves we find it in the best interest of everyone to cancel the After The Leaves Half Marathon.
We understand that many, if not all, will be disappointed with this decision. We too are disappointed we can’t have the race. Many hours by multiple people have gone into having everything ready for you come Sunday.
We have made the decision to refund you the full amount of your entry. Thanks to ZippyReg for allowing us to do this. If you ever need a platform for online registrations for races please consider them, they are a wonderful team out of Albany. http://zippyreg.com
We hope to see you at future events!
P.S. We’re going to try to reschedule the event for early spring (before the trees bud). We’ll make sure to send an email to all those who were registered if we decide to go that route.

I’ve gotten a few questions about the course and figured I’d post so others can have some info about the course they’ll be running…
A beautiful crisp fall day in the Hudson Valley brought us pretty perfect weather for the Rosendale Runs Plains Run and Half Marathon. We had a great turnout and, as far as I could tell, everyone enjoyed themselves. Hopefully there weren’t too many trips, falls, and skinned knees. I hope you got to enjoy the leaves and the beauty that is Rosendale, NY.
I want to thank the race directors Steve & Lisa as I know they put in countless hours getting things ready for all of you. I want to thanks the numerous volunteers who got up early and spent hours making sure you were taken care of on the course. I want to thank the fire, police & the many people from Rosendale who made the streets safe and kept you on track. There would be no races without these people. May I suggest you volunteer for a race sometime to see how much goes into it and get a different perspective. It’s a life changing event that brings great pleasure and joy.
I hope you all liked the mugs, medals & awards. I heard there was some pretty great food. I got to sample the wraps which I thought were great and I always love Chocolate Milk. I heard rumblings of some apple crumb pound cake that was fantastic that I didn’t get to try.
Now that I’ve made you read enough here are links to the results…

Once again, thank you for coming out to run with us and we truly hope you enjoyed it. If there’s any issues with results, comments or suggestions please email me @ christopher.regan@gmail.com and i’ll make sure we discuss them.
Hello Rosendale Run runners!!!
With all this rain, how can we not have a beautiful day on Saturday, October 20, 2018, however, that is one thing we cannot control! Currently weather is looking mostly cloudy with temps in the lower 50’s.
Just a reminder that the race is at the Rosendale Recreation Center, 1055 NY-32, Rosendale, New York and parking is available at the Recreation Center. Please carpool to make parking easier for everyone. Google Maps Link – https://goo.gl/rBVMoA
Day Of Registration & Bib Pickup begins at 7:15 am
Both the Half Marathon and the 4.4 mile run will go off together at 8:30 a.m.
Just a few notes for the day of the run. In view of the fact that a portion of James Street is under construction, we had to change the route slightly. The start line will still be at the rear of the Rosendale Rec Center on James Street. The 4.4 miler, when on Elting Road, will turn down Sand Hill Road and there will be a volunteer at the top and bottom of Sand Hill to direct you. The Half Milers will do the same route, running down Elting onto the Trestle and we will have volunteers there as well to direct you. The major change is that both runs (13.1 and 4.4) will go down and through Main Street, looping back around to James Street where the finish line will be.
It is very important that when crossing the bridge from James Street and onto Main Street that all runners stay on the right hand side of the road. We have been advised to encourage the runners to NOT use the sidewalk on Main Street, however, stay on the right hand side of Main Street, as all roads will remain open to traffic. There will be one point however, closer to Main Street where you will have to get off the road and run behind the guardrail onto the sidewalk so that you can loop around over the bridge on Rt. 32 staying on the sidewalk. We will have a volunteer there to direct you. The Rosendale Police Department is kind enough to put out an order that there will be no parking on the right hand side of Main Street where the runners will run during that morning.
After crossing the finish line you’ll collect your finisher mug. Individual results will be available from the results kiosk and we’ll get the results up online @ shawangunkrunners.com as soon as possible.
See you all in the morning!
After The Leaves Half Marathon registration is open to everyone at this point…
https://www.zippyreg.com/online_reg/index.php?e=1156
Registration is limited to 300 entrants. Once the race is sold out the registration page will go back to “needing a code” but that does not mean spots are available. There is transfers through zippyreg for $5 fee if someone wants to transfer.
May the odds be ever in your favor 😀
Christopher
I know people have been waiting for registration to open. Good news is that if you are a Shawangunk Runner Member you should have just received an email from me. If you didn’t get an email please contact me one at christopher.regan@gmail.com.
General registration will open on Monday September 17th @ 8am EST

Things are a bit different this year as Minnewaska is doing construction we have had to move the race to the Mohonk Preserve. That means the course will change but it will still be on carriage trails and it will still be beautiful. We’ll have a course available as soon as we get it just right. Because of the change to Mohonk Preserve, prices for the race have needed to change to take into account the Mohonk Preserve Membership. If you have a Mohonk Preserve Membership you will continue to pay the usual $20. If you don’t have one then the price will be $35 which will include entry to the preserve on 11/18 and include another day pass to be used in the future. As we are not in Minnewaska there will not be a $10 charge per car. Please car pool to save parking spaces as parking will be tight. If you have any questions you can email me at christopher.regan@gmail.com
