A portion of the proceeds are donated to support The Northern Dutchess Hospital Foundation as well as The Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. The course takes participants through historic downtown Rhinebeck and journey to the shores of the Hudson River in neighboring Rhinecliff. With the New York City Marathon just three weeks away, this is the perfect opportunity to do a final training run or spend a weekend in the country running in this gorgeous setting. A pre-race pasta dinner is held on Sat Oct. 13th at the Historic Beekman Arms to benefit the Northern Dutchess Hospital Foundation. The cost for this special “carb-loading” dinner is $25. The race is a certified Half Marathon course with B-Tag chip timing. Registration begins at 8am and the race begins at 10am. Tech shirts are provided to all runners and prizes money and trophies will be awarded. Village of Rhinebeck, Rhinebeck. 845-871-3505; fallfoliagehalf.com</span></p>
