It might be a little early to be thinking about your 5K plans for 2024 but the reality is the first runs are right around the corner. I don't personally run, I am built more for walking but most of the people I know who run try to do it all year long.

We don't have any winter events locally but as soon as the temperature breaks you will want to be ready to go. As a matter of fact a very popular run that is organized by the Mohonk Preserve is just 2 months away.

Proceeds from the race benefit the preserve and help with its mission to protect and promote the Shawangunk Region. This is not the only race that the Mohonk Preserve produces. Later in May they also hold Rock the Ridge a 50-mile endurance challenge that is insanely popular.
