Organiser's description

This event is a memorial to Noreen Dechon who served as Village of Ellenville Clerk and was well known in the community as a volunteer. Noreen was instrumental in keeping the Joseph P. Stoeckeler Jr. Memorial Park and Golf Course (formerly Shawangunk Country Club) as open space. Participants can choose from a 5k run, 5k walk or 2.5k walk. The route is a 2.5k "loop" that meanders through the golf course with an elevation gain of approximately 200 feet each loop and has an absolutely spectacular view of the Shawangunk Ridge. All proceeds will be used to beautify the park with tree & shrub plantings and other landscape improvements.
