🗣️ Comments from Previous Races

This was my 2nd chestnut ridge race and like last year it was awesome! beautiful setting, wonderful people, good cause. thank you for the hard work in putting this together!

Thanksgiving for another terrific and very well run race. I cannot imagine all the work that was done to clear the trails of the falling leaf cover. The homemade goodies even sweeter....

I know I'll be back next year! Everyone was so nice. You can tell when a lot of thought, planning & organization go into a race!
