Packet pick up was quick and easy at the West Point Visitor Center. Access to the base on Sunday was easy, parking was super close to the start/finish. The race honors and remembers 13 West Point grads who died serving and protecting our country. West Point is a beautiful campus. Each section of the race had sights and views, one of the most scenic I’ve ever run. The uphills and downhills are tough, but totally worth it! This is a race I would definitely do again!

This is a tough hilly course run in mid-March in NY Hudson Valley so that should set the scene. It is hilly, up hills are SLOW, but down hills are fast. There are many cadets rucking as well. There are family of fallen West Point alum along the course and these are the folks that you run this race for. This was a special race for me because I ran it with my daughter who was a plebe at West Point. The race starts at the football stadium so there is plenty of parking and warm bathrooms. You do need to go the day(s) before to the Visitor Center and get cleared to come on campus for the race. Pretty easy to do. It’s a beautiful campus with stunning views of the Hudson River. Tons of history……………..you’ll run by statues of many US generals, the graveyard where Custer is buried, and many other sites on campus.

Amazing opportunity to run through the historic United States Military Academy. The course in 2022 included two laps up and down and around the picturesque campus at West Point. The race consists of around 600 runners and walkers, to include an option to conduct a ruck march. The 2023 race will offer a kids 1-mile fun run. The 2022 course finished on the field of Michie Stadium with post race snacks and an awesome Fallen Comrades medal. The race is well supported by cadets and volunteers with several water stations. Proceeds from the race go to support cadet club activities to include the Army West Point Marathon Team.

This is a fun race that is well organized. Packet pickup and parking at Mitchie Stadium is a breeze. It is often cold for this race, especially being up against the river for half of the course but it is worth it for the history and scenery of the base. Course support is sparse but the families and spectators that are out are full of encouragement! The course elevation is substantial but perfect if that is what you enjoy, like I do.
