Event Description

This 5k race along with a 5k walk & 2.5k walk is a memorial to Noreen Dechon who we lost too soon and was the recently retired Village of Ellenville clerk, well known in the community as a highly involved volunteer and instrumental in keeping the former Shawangunk Country Club now named the Joseph P. Stoeckeler Jr. Memorial Park and Golf Course as open space.  Participants are asked to enjoy their journey in the park and on the golf course cart paths as all proceeds will be used to beautify the park with tree and shrub plantings along with other landscape improvements.  The course is a 2.5k "loop" which has about a 200+ foot elevation gain with an absolutely spectacular view of the Shawangunk Ridge.  Please be careful as you traverse the course and descend down a few of the cart paths which constitute part of the race course.
