Shawangunk Ridge Trail Run (SRT)

Shawangunk Ridge Trail Run

The Shawangunk Ridge Trail Run is a trail event in and around Rosendale, New York that follows the Shawangunk Ridge corridor. The SRT is a long trail that runs from High Point State Park in New Jersey to Rosendale, ending just beyond a restored railroad trestle 140 feet above the Rondout Creek. The route passes rolling hills, wetlands, dwarf pine barrens, sky lakes, waterfalls, and the white conglomerate cliffs of the Shawangunk mountains. Vantage points rise to about 2,000 feet above the Hudson Valley with views that can reach multiple states on a clear day. The Nature Conservancy has identified the ridgeline as "one of Earth’s last great places."

The event includes multiple distance divisions and separate start locations for each division. It is an unsupported event: participants must carry their own food and water purification systems. The trail is well blazed but provides no supplemental markings; organizers recommend using the Trail Conference map app and the event map. The race rules prohibit pacers, support crews, drop bags, and resupply caches. There are multiple checkpoints and time cutoffs. Parking is provided in Rosendale only and shuttle buses are used to reach the various start locations. Registered participants receive tech t-shirts, finishers medals, completion certificates for 70 mile finishers, and other event swag; t shirts are not guaranteed for registrations after 2027-08-01. The event supports local trail stewardship and search and rescue organizations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
