The Friends are partnering with Salomon for the New York Trail Series for the Castle to River Run on March 31st 2019!
The Salomon New York Trail Series is a three race ultra series taking place 2018 - 2019. It's comprised of the Breakneck Marathon (Sep 8th), Water Gap 50k (Oct 13th), and a brand new 50k - Castle to River (March 31st, 2019) - in Garrison, NY. Castle-to-River also includes a half-marathon, 5k and kids run! The 2018 Castle-to-River will be held on March 31st 2019. Each race is scenic and uniquely challenging. Breakneck will crush your quads with steep climbs and descents; Water Gap is fast and flat along the Delaware river; and Castle to River combines speedy single track with steep climbs on historic Hudson valley trails. Sign-up. Run. Kick ass. You are in!! Registrations are now open for all three events on ultra signup. We would recommend signing up as soon as you can. Water Gap and Castle to River may not fill-up; however, Breakneck has sold out the last two years. This year we are 1/4 full already. And we have been told that the Breakneck trail will be open for the race! Breakneck Marathon registration Water Gap 50k registration Castle to River 50k registration Check out the 50k map here:
