The Hudson Valley’s favorite autumn tradition returns. Whether you’re using our half marathon as the final "big push" before your fall championship or taking on the 5K for the sheer atmosphere of the Hudson Valley, this is the weekend to be in Rhinebeck.
When the timing is right, the course transforms into a corridor of fire-orange and deep gold. It’s fast, it’s scenic, and it’s the definitive way to experience autumn in Upstate New York.
