Course
The course is challenging, scenic and fun! The course is marked by orange arrows throughout.

From Beekman turn right onto Andrews lane. Follow Andrews to Pocantico and turn left down Pocantico into the Manors. Please refer to the map of the course. There will be three water stations out on the course.

Race Timing
This race is timed using the ChronoTrack d-tag timing system. The timing device will be attached to your race number. You must remove the d-tag from your number and attach it to your shoe prior to the race. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE D-TAG IS ATTACHED CORRECTLY. The d-tag is disposable; it will not be collected after the race. All participants in this race must wear the d-tag in order to have their times recorded.

Results
Race results will be posted same day on the Rivertown Runners website
