Choose Your Hudson Valley Celebration Here A few things before we get started: • Due to construction of the NEW Ulster Welcome Center on the west side of Walkway State Historic Park, all three races have had to be rerouted for 2017. • Please note that the College to College 5K has a DIFFERENT START location than the Half and Full Marathon. • On Sunday, June 11th the William R. Steinhaus Dutchess Rail Trail will be closed from 6:00 am – 1:30 pm for the Walkway Half and Full Marathon. No unauthorized users will be allowed on the Rail Trail during the time of the race. Please take a moment to read the following welcome letters from our generous partners and sponsors who have been instrumental in the success of this race. STAY SAFE. DO YOUR BEST. ENJOY THE JOURNEY.
