About the Race:
The Rock and Snow Bridge 2 Bridge Five Mile Run is held annually in early April by Mohonk Preserve with support from the Shawangunk Runners. All race proceeds benefit Mohonk Preserve and its mission to protect 8,000 acres of the beautiful Shawangunk Mountains and inspire visitors to appreciate nature. The 5-mile course is mostly on wide, lightly graveled carriage roads with a small section on trails. This is a chip-timed event. Awards are given to the top overall finishers by gender and to the top three finishers in ten-year age categories. Awards include delicious apple pies, annual memberships to Mohonk Preserve, or free race entries to Shawangunk Runner events.
