About the Event

The Hudson Valley’s favorite autumn tradition returns. Whether you’re using our half marathon as the final "big push" before your fall championship or taking on the 5K for the sheer atmosphere of the Hudson Valley, this is the weekend to be in Rhinebeck.

When the timing is right, the course transforms into a corridor of fire-orange and deep gold. It’s fast, it’s scenic, and it’s the definitive way to experience autumn in Upstate New York.

About Rhinebeck

Rhinebeck is a township in Dutchess County, New York. The township encompasses the village of Rhinebeck and the hamlet of Rhinecliff. The downtown area of Rhinebeck is small enough to walk around within an hour or so, exclusive of extra time to visit churches and shops, have a meal, etc., and well worth it, as it is full of beautiful, lovingly decorated houses. It also has a beautifully preserved, functioning Roosevelt-era post office with murals that depict the history of the area and other interesting documentation.
