Sorry for the delay in getting this info out there but there’s a lot of important things that you need to know about.
Race is on Wednesday June 19th starting at the West Trapps Bridge in Mohonk Preserve. Bib pickup starts at 5 pm and the race will go off at 6:30 pm. This is different from previous years. Please do not go to Minnewaska. 🙂
Parking
Carpooling, if you can, will be extremely helpful. Even if you plan to park at the Mohonk Visitor Center and then carpool to the West Trapps Trailhead Parking Lot. Parking will be at the West Trapps Trailhead Parking Lot or the Mohonk Visitor Center. Both have a bit of a walk to the start but the West Trapps is closer. The hike on the connector trail from the Visitor Center to the race start is less than 3/4 of a mile. There may be a shuttle running from the Visitor Center to the West Trapps dropoff but don’t count on it. 🙂 Arrive early to have less stress.
There is absolutely no parking on 44/55 and you will be ticketed and/or towed. You are also not allowed to drop people off on 44/55. If you need to drop off a racer please go into the West Trapps parking lot to drop them off. You may also be ticketed if you stop on 44/55 to drop someone off.
Bib Pickup
If you’re a Mohonk Preserve member you must bring your member card. Pickup will start at 5 pm. There will be 2 lines one for Preserve Members and one for non-members. Non-members will receive a wristband and 2 complementary passes for a free day in Mohonk Preserve. Guests must also bring their membership card or they will need to pay the $15 entrance fee for Mohonk in cash.
Race
The race will start at 6:30 pm sharp. We would like everyone to be finished by 8:30 pm so if you think it will take you longer than 2 hours for the 9.5ish mile course please look further down for “early start” instructions.
A course track is available at:Â https://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=rfctpotnttxvobci
This also includes a elevation map as well as instructions for turns and such. The course will be marked with white flour arrows. Small orange cones will block off routes you shouldn’t go.
Water Stops
Water will be available at @2.5 miles, @4.5 miles, and @7 miles. There will only be water at these aid stations so if you’d like something else please plan to carry it with you.
Post Race
After the run there will be water as well as wraps, chicken tenders, bagels w/ peanut butter or cream cheese, bananas, strawberries, oranges, & cookies.

Early Start
If you plan to take longer than 2 hours for the race we ask you to start early so that you finish around 8:30. The early start is not for those who want to be done earlier. 😉
Early starters will need to check in with the timer (Christopher Regan) before they start so he can record their start time. You will come through the finish line like normal and your time will adjust automatically. If, for some reason, you start without telling the timer please let him know when you finish your correct finish time so the results are correct. Thanks!
