Cornwall Lions Club Fall Harvest Race

The Cornwall Lions Club Fall Harvest Race 7.5 Mile Scenic Challenge will include parts of the 5K route with views of the Hudson River, Storm King Mountain and, of course, the beautiful Fall foliage. It is a challenging course with a one mile uphill climb at mile 5 that provides a beautiful panoramic view of Cornwall and Orange County territories north – even the Newburgh Beacon Bridge on a clear day! There is a water table near the top. Followed by that panoramic view is a sweeping downhill finish where the streets are lined with well-wishers.

The 5K is a relatively flat and fast 3.1-mile course beginning at the Storm King Firehouse on Hudson Street in the center of quaint and historic Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson. The route transverses through and around the Village allowing runners and walkers to take in views of the Hudson River, as well some historic home sites, local restaurants, and businesses.

Both courses have been certified by Brian Cavanagh. Custom-designed shirts guaranteed to all pre-registered for 5K and 7.5 Mile. Enjoy a runners banquet of oranges, bananas, bagels, cream cheese, coffee, water and Gatorade with pizza and pastas following the race provided by Leo’s Pizza in downtown Cornwall.

Come enjoy the stunning views from the dramatic Hudson River to the more bucolic Cornwall environs. You’ll see why after docking at what is now Cornwall Landing, Henry Hudson felt this would be a good place to found a town.
