Rock The Ridge
Rock The Ridge is a trail running and hiking event held at Mohonk Preserve in the Shawangunk Mountains of New York's Hudson Valley. The event offers an ultra marathon and a trail marathon and also accepts two, three, or four person relay teams. The course uses wide, well marked carriage roads that pass through forests and along ridgelines with scenic views. Aid stations are closely spaced and well stocked, and the 50 mile course has an 18 hour cutoff. Event staff and volunteers provide on course support and personalized fundraising assistance. A finish line party is part of the event program.
Now in its 14th year, Rock The Ridge functions as a major fundraiser for Mohonk Preserve. Funds raised support the preserve's Conservation and Community Education, Stewardship, and Visitor Experience programs. Mohonk Preserve manages more than 8,200 acres of ridges, forests, fields, streams, and ponds, and is described in the event materials as the largest member and visitor supported nature preserve in New York State.
