Be a Trail Glazer and join this annual event at Minnewaska State Park!!! 13.1 miles of beautifully groomed carriage roads. These are technically trails but NOT technical trails…perfect for your first time participating in an off road race. Soak up all the sights including at least 6 water features, 3 bridges, a majestic waterfall, rock climbers, scenic vistas and DOUGHNUT REST STOPS – some people call them aid stations.
The Baker’s Dozen Half Marathon will start at the the lower, Awosting Lot located inside Minnewaska State Park. The course heads out on the Lower Awosting trail to Lake Awosting and turns onto the Upper Awosting trail to Lake Minnewaska where runners will head up to the Hamilton Point trail to get back to Lake Awosting and finish the race going downhill on the Lower Awosting trail to finish.
The entire course is on beautifully manicured, wide, carriage roads. These are technically trails (not paved roads) but there are no ‘technical trail’ or single track portions of the course. It is an excellent introduction to off-road running or a great test of speed & endurance for trail veterans.

Definitely not for the first time half marathoner. The views were beautiful. Weather was nice. However check out the elevation map before you commit.
Race advertised donuts at aid stations, they did not have donuts. Just pastries at the finish line. Not a deal breaker…
After running 13.1 miles, we had to trek uphill 1.5 miles even further to get to our car.
Overall, a decent race if you’re up for the elevation.
