Rated one of the 8 best Halloween runs by Runner's World Magazine and sponsored by the Rivertown Runners, this can be a challenging race for some. The route does encompass many of the rolling hills that Washington Irving references in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The nice thing about this race is that it is accessible by Metro North Railroad for people who live in NYC and want to see what's going on in the 'burbs. Most of the races is run through residential neighborhoods, however you do get some majestic views of the Hudson River, as well as the Old Dutch Church and Philipsburg Manor, two of the areas historical sites.
One thing to keep in mind as you run this race, the finish line is at the top of a hill! No Joke! It's called the Potanico Punisher. If the 6 miles don't hurt, the 0.2 to the finish will!
Costumes are strongly encouraged. Bib pick up is at the Westchester Road Runners store in White Plains. Race T-shirt is a long sleeve cotton shirt.
