About the race
Pocantico Hills Races take place at Rockwood Hall within the Rockefeller State Preserve and use single-loop courses on wide, groomed carriage roads. The routes avoid pavement and motor vehicle traffic and pass fields, historic stone walls, bridges, grazing livestock, rivers, forests, lakes, and offer views of the Hudson River and the Palisades. The event offers running and walking options over two principal distances and includes charity-entry options that require fundraising. Registration opens on December 31, 2026; standard registration closes on March 30, 2027, while charity bib registrations remain available through the day of the event.
Entry fees listed by the organizer are $100.00 for marathon entries and $75.00 for half marathon entries. Charity bib participants agree to raise a minimum of $500 for Run Wild, Inc. The race schedule provided by the organizer includes check-in periods, intermediate aid stations with cutoffs, and a final cutoff at the finish line. The half-marathon and marathon are single-loop courses intended to use the preserve’s carriage roads and to showcase many park sights from a common start and finish location at Rockwood Hall, near Route 9 and Phelps Hospital.
