Brief Description

The 5K is a beautiful, undulating out and back course along the Beaverkill River, a delight for both runners and walkers. The 1/2 Marathon is a challenging course out along the Beaverkill River, with a long climb beginning at mile 4 up and over a dirt road through the Catskill Mountains, before descending back down along the Beaverkill River at mile 10 for a fast finish.
