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.
