Rain or Shine, we're running in the morning. 7:30 start.

For the Half Marathon, 2nd Turnaround, at Start Time plus 2 hours and 15 minutes, the Turnaround will shut down, clean up, and start moving towards the college, cleaning up each aid station, releasing the volunteers and the police officers protecting the at grade crossings. You are more than welcome to stay out on the rail trail, but we do need to re-open the trail and clear all our equipment and supplies.

See you tomorrow morning.

While this is against what we are taught as runners, please stay left on the Dutchess Rail Trail, Walkway Over The Hudson, and Manchester Bridge. This avoids collision when the wheeled entrant and the faster runners return from Manchester Bridge and exit the course at Morgan Lake.

Again, please stay left.

Happy Running!!!!

We are aware of a legacy Dutchess County Classic web page showing up on Google Search with a previous race's details although we cannot figure out what year it truly is.

Please make sure you are viewing the 2026 page. If you click on the upper right and then click Home 2026, you'll see the 2026 version and details
We do not have Nuun this year and our friends at Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie are not hosting bib pickup this year.
