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!
