Shawangunk Ridge Trail Run
The Shawangunk Ridge Trail Run is a trail event in Rosendale, New York that uses the full Shawangunk Ridge corridor. The event offers three separate divisions with distinct courses and distances.
Distances:
- 70 Mile
- 30 Mile
- Half Marathon
The route follows the Shawangunk Ridge Trail through varied terrain including rolling hills, wetlands, dwarf pine barrens, sky lakes, waterfalls, and white conglomerate cliffs. Some sections are rocky and include squeezes or scrambles; footing can be difficult in places. The trail is well blazed but there are no supplemental markings, so participants must follow trail blazes and maps.
The event is unsupported: participants are required to carry their own food and water purification. Multiple checkpoints are positioned along the course and there are mandatory checkpoint time cut offs. No pacers, no support crews, no drop bags, and no resupply caches are allowed.
Transportation and logistics note that parking for the event is in Rosendale only and shuttle service is provided to start locations; parking at Sam's Point or Minnewaska State Park Preserve is not permitted. There are no refunds, deferrals, or transfers.
Registered participants receive event tech t shirts and unique finishers medals. Additional items include a barefoot badge, 70 mile completion certificates, and ceremonial tomahawks for division winners. The event is managed by Run Wild, Inc., a not for profit that supports land conservation and stewardship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
