About this race

 Registration  for Week #2 will open on Tuesday July 8.****

This year's 52nd series features four spectacularly scenic courses—ranging from 3 miles to 4.7 miles—on the carriage roads of Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park. The summer series is limited to 250 registrants, so don’t delay!

Bib pickup each week starts at 6 p.m. Informal children's half-mile and one-mile runs kick off at 6:45, with the adult race immediately following at approximately 7 p.m. Here's the schedule:
