💚 Everybody rocked it. Truly. What an effort 💚

Men, women, young, old. First timers, regulars.

Friends cheering,
families waiting,
partners pacing the finish.
Relay teams flying,
solo runners giving it everything. 🏃‍♀️

Whether you run relay, the marathon or the full 50 miles or crossed the finish line in seven hours or just before cutoff, every mile counted.

The mountain kept building, the miles kept adding up, you Rocked The Ridge, did The Ridge Rock you back? Because races aren’t really about running. They’re about proving to yourself that even when things are hard, you can keep going. 💪 That your body can push through more than expected, and that your mind is powerful.

The cheers
The hugs
The shared effort out on the course made it unforgettable

Our hearts are truly full. Seeing so many people running with purpose, for family, for the land, for personal reasons, for something bigger, means everything.

A massive THANK YOU 🙏 not only to our Ridge Rockers but to everyone that showed up for the Preserve, to our volunteers, staff, community and for everyone that helped make this event so special 💚

Thank you for showing up and supporting Mohonk Preserve.
