Long Path Trail Half Marathon

In the beginning of June there will be a half marathon trail race on the Long Path from Phoenicia to the Woodland Valley Campground. Here is the save the date announcement from the Phoenicia Storehouse. Sounds like a lot of fun for all you runners out there.

June 4th, Save the Date Phoenicia Ridge to Valley Trail Half Marathon Race Join us on a half marathon trail race that celebrates the hamlet of Phoenicia and the coolest new trail in the Catskills. The race will start in downtown Phoenicia and head into the woods 1.2 miles later. From there, the Long Path gently ascends Romer Mountain, putting you on a ridge with rolling terrain and plenty of breathtaking scenery, including sweeping views of the Burroughs and Devils Path ranges.
