The Raven Rocks Run is set to go tomorrow at 9am. See our Logistics Note for advice on getting to the park and getting oriented once you arrive.
Race organizers are at the park today doing the final prep work and fine tuning the course for our Sunday morning start.
RegisterThere is Last Minute Online Registration available until 6pm today if you are deciding late to run – sign up now and make tomorrow morning easier for yourselves and us! 😉 If you want to sign up for the race on race day, we open same day registration from 7:15 – 8:45am.
Note if you are running tomorrow and want to have an extra layer for the start but then want to peel it off (after that first big hill!), we will have volunteers at Michigan Road (1 mile into the course) who can collect your outer layers in a bin and will return them to the finish line area under the tent for you to pick up after you finish.
This year the Raven Rocks Run will feature one course change — Runners will head out from the start as usual, but will cross the Covered Bridge heading up Michigan Road and run up the meadow on the left side of Michigan Road which is part of the new CB (Covered Bridge) trail loop. The trail goes left into the woods near the farmhouse where the Westchester County Wildlife Conservationist office is. It joins up with the remaining Raven Rocks course at the Michigan Road sand hill. From there the course is the same as last year.
This change does not affect the the course distance by much, but it eliminates some elevation change so it will potentially be a faster start (and race). Everyone gets a course PR on Sunday!
See you on the trails!
