Lisa's 5K Fun Run and Walk
Lisa's 5K Fun Run and 2 Mile Walk will be a fun run and walk in honor of Lisa Malcolm, who passed away from cancer in 2016. All profits will go towards Family Reach, a nonprofit organization dedicated to removing the financial barriers between cancer patients and their treatment.
The fun run race will start at 10:30 on a 3-loop 5k course and 10 minutes later at 10:40, the walk will start — 2 loops on the same course.
The race and walk will take place at The Woodstock Day School, 1430 Glasco Turnpike, Saugerties, NY 12477. The event's goal is to have a good time and raise money for a great cause!
Please try to carpool and arrive 15-30 mins before the race due to very limited parking.

After the Leaves / Josh Feldt Memorial Half Marathon
This run is simply spectacular as we run around two pristine glacial lakes and along the Shawangunk Ridge, which affords views into five states. We now have a much better staging area and improved parking. Minnewaska State Park Preserve's groomed, unpaved carriage trails are perfect for running.
The Shawangunk Runners Club strives to keep running affordable for all, which explains the low entry fee of $30.
The park charges a $10 per car parking fee, so carpooling saves you money and parking spots for others.
There is a maximum limit of 300 runners, and this race typically sells out.
The race will start at 11:30 am, with packet/bib 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 11 am - 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.
