Shawangunk Ridge Trail Run (SRT)
The Shawangunk Ridge Trail Run is a trail event that finishes in Rosendale, New York and follows the Shawangunk Ridge. The SRT traverses the ridge from High Point State Park in New Jersey to Rosendale, ending just beyond a restored railroad trestle 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.
The event includes three divisions:
- 70 mile
- 30 mile
- Half marathon
The 70 mile division is intended for seasoned trail runners. The course is a rugged hiking trail in some sections, with rocky footing, squeezes, and scrambles. The trail is well blazed but there are no supplemental course markings; participants are expected to follow blazes and carry navigation aids. The event is unsupported: runners must carry their own food and a water purification method.
The race uses multiple checkpoints with cutoffs to manage the field. Event parking is provided in Rosendale only and shuttle buses serve the various start locations; parking at Sam's Point or Minnewaska State Park Preserve is not permitted. There are no refunds, transfers, or deferrals. Registered participants receive tech t shirts and finishers medals and other event items, though t shirts may not be guaranteed for late registrants.
