Inaugural 5k Rockie's Benefit Race

Proceeds to benefit trail maintenance at the Rockefeller State Park Preserve
Saturday November 8 @ 8:30 am

Memorial Miler, Paul Pietropaolo ran in the Inaugural 5K "Rockie's" Benefit Race to help raise funds for trail maintenance at the Rockefeller State Park Preserve. The course started and ended at the intersection of Eagle Hill and Pocantico River Trails. It goes north (uphill switchbacks at the north end of 13 bridges) in one big loop to 13 bridges trail, then eventually that turns into Gory Brook Trail (flat to downhill), over the little wooden bridge then back over the stone arch bridge to home.

I'd say it was a tough start, fast stretch and a nice test over the final mile or so.
