Livingston Manor, NY
FAST COURSES | PRIZE MONEY | BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN SCENERY | FREE CRAFT BEER | SAFE AND FUN ENVIRONMENT
Set in the Catskill Mountains, in the charming hamlet of Livingston Manor, NY, these courses are fast and full of beautiful, autumn scenery! We are super excited to have Catskill Brewery as the featured craft brewery for this event!! This is one of our favorite breweries and they create delicious craft beer, of many varieties. Catskill Brewery will provide each participant, of legal drinking age, with a complimentary craft beer!
The Half Marathon course is fast! It's one of the most scenic, point-to-point routes in the region, starting in Mongaup Pond Campground, following Mongaup Creek, the famous Willowemoc Creek, and finishing at Catskill Brewery in Livingston Manor. Runners should get the full experience of autumn in the Catskills!
The 5K Run/Walk is a loop which starts by Catskill Brewery, crosses the historic Covered Bridge, follows the Willowemoc Creek through Livingston Manor, then down Main Street, with all the shops/restaurants, and back to the finish at Catskill Brewery.
Finish line festivities include food for participants wearing their race bibs, music, lawn games, and of course, craft beer from Catskill Brewery.
Bring your family and friends -- spectators are highly encouraged and there is A LOT to do in the area!! Come spend the weekend!!
