Dear Race Participant:
Welcome to Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park! Walkway
is one of the many incredible parks and historic sites that are run by the
NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. While the
park was only opened in 2009, it has quickly become one of the premier
destinations in the Hudson Valley and the entire NYS Parks system.
Walkway State Historic Park offers a phenomenal backdrop for your
race today. You are sure to find other inspiring locales at state parks
and historic sites here in the Hudson River Valley and in other parts of
New York. From invigorating hiking spots and serene camping sites to historic mansions and gorgeous landscapes,
there is something for everyone to explore. Many of our parks and sites here in the Hudson Valley are conveniently
located near major highways or railroad lines. I invite you to visit www.nysparks.com to plan your next outing at a New
York State Park or Historic Site.
Best of luck to you and your fellow participants. See you on the Walkway!
Sincerely,
Linda G. Cooper
Taconic Regional Director
NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation
