Where and when is packet pickup?

Race day packet pickup (and same day registration, if available) will be at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds (6636 US-9, Rhinebeck, NY 12572):
Sunday, 10/12: 7:15 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. Note that the team will need to move on to other tasks at 8:15 a.m., so race day packet pick will end promptly at that time.
​
Late registration is available onsite, provided we have not reached the cap. Please check the home page or social media to confirm that bibs are still available on race weekend.
​
Is there parking available?
Yes, there is parking available on site The Dutchess County Fairgrounds, and in town at the Municipal Lots.
Parking will be congested, so runners are encouraged to arrive by 7:30/7:45 a.m. to allow time for parking, bathroom use, and getting to the start line with ample time.
How will the race be timed?
Both races will be professionally timed by Mid-Hudson Timing. Participants should wear their race bib on their outermost layer of clothing and should confirm that the personal information on their bib label (gender and age) is correct before beginning their race. Participants will receive a text alert with their official race time and age group place if a cell phone number is provided during the registration process.
Will the races sell out?
The 13th Annual Fall Foliage Half Marathon & 5K will be limited to a total of 800 participants between both races. Last year we completely sold out and are expecting similar numbers this year. To ensure your space, please register early!
Can I walk and is there a time limit for the Half Marathon?
Walkers and runners of all paces and abilities are welcome. Please be aware that course support will end at 12:00 pm.

​
Are there awards and medals?
All participants will receive a beautiful custom finisher's medal. The half marathon medals are a beautiful custom design which will include a unique stained glass design. The 5K medals are a handmade wood design. Images of both medals will be released once available. There will also be custom hand-made age group awards (top 3 overall and in 10-year age groups)
