Point to point along the Shawangunk Ridge Trail from the Peter's Kill area in Minnewaska State Park Preserve to the finish in Rosendale, NY. Suitable for fast hikers as well as runners. Unsupported: no aid, crew, pacers or drop bags.
Rugged hiking trail over a wide variety of terrain. Some sections are rocky with difficult footing, squeezes or scrambles. Shawangunk conglomerate grips when dry and gets very slippery when wet; a few spots have moderate exposure, and roots and rocks make ankle sprains easy. Bear, porcupines, fishers, bobcats and timber rattlesnakes live in the area. Most common wrong turn: the left from Old Minnewaska Trail onto Undivided Lot Trail in Mohonk Preserve, about 1 mile past checkpoint #5. Race says 30 mile and half marathon runners can be fast hikers; bring a light if you might finish after dark.
The race
What this one is
A point-to-point run and hike along the Shawangunk Ridge Trail in New York and New Jersey, finishing at the railroad trestle in Rosendale. Three divisions start at three different places: 70 miles from High Point Monument on Friday evening, 30 miles from Sam's Point and a half marathon from Peter's Kill on Saturday. It is unsupported: no aid stations, crew, pacers or drop bags, only volunteer checkpoints that write down your bib. Runners carry their own food and water filter and follow the trail's blazes. Cut-offs are generous for the 30 and half marathon, which are open to fast hikers.

Cut-offs keep the field moving toward the finish and get everyone out of Minnewaska State Park Preserve, which is closed in the dark. All cut-offs are strictly enforced with no grace period.

This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.

Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.

We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.

We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Where this came from.
Every fact on this page records its source and when we last checked it: 69 sources for this race. Hover a source link to read the sentence it came from.
31% of what we track for a course is filled in. The rest says "not checked yet" rather than guessing.
Ultras change. We will tell you when this one does.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
