The race route goes through the local neighborhood behind Cherry Lane Elementary School. Roads are closed to traffic. While most of the course is flat there are a couple of short uphills. We made the course so the longer hills are on the down side. Here is a link to a map and description of the course. www.mapmyrun.com/events/603365/ Note: The road map mileage 2.9 but we utilize the school property to add the additional .20 to complete the 5K route.

This year we would like to show our support of People to People Food Pantry. People to People Food Pantry is Rockland's largest food pantry. Every month they provide hundreds of food packages to families in every town, village and hamlet in Rockland County.
