About the race
The Shawangunk Ridge Trail Run is a trail running event in Rosendale, New York, held along the Shawangunk Ridge Trail. The event offers three separate divisions with distinct courses and logistics:
- 70 Mile
- 30 Mile
- 1/2 Marathon
The Shawangunk Ridge Trail is a 70-mile route that runs from High Point State Park in New Jersey to the town of Rosendale, NY. The trail passes through rolling hills, wetlands, dwarf pine barrens, sky lakes, waterfalls, and white conglomerate cliffs. Vantage points on the ridge rise to about 2,000 feet above the Hudson Valley and can offer wide views across several states.
The event emphasizes minimal on-course support. Multiple checkpoints with enforced cut-offs are used; participants must be self-sufficient with food and water purification. The trail is well blazed but has no supplemental markings, and some sections feature rocky footing, squeezes, or scrambles. No pacers, no support crews, no drop bags, and no resupply caches are allowed.
Organized by Run Wild, Inc., a 501(c)(3), the event provides participant tech shirts, finishers medals, a barefoot runner badge, completion certificates for 70-mile finishers, and ceremonial tomahawks for division winners. Parking is provided in Rosendale only and shuttle service is used to reach start areas. There are no refunds, deferrals, or transfers.
