Individual 30km road
race originally designed and organized from
2002-2004 by USATF Certified Coach Brian Cavanagh.
Organized by Sullivan Striders from 2005 on. Relay
option added in 2005 by Sullivan Striders officers. Special thanks to Myriam Loor for leading the way in
organizing this, especially since this comes only two
weeks after another big race she
directs, the Celebrate
Life Half Marathon.
Brian founded the 100km Catskill Mountain Road Relay,
a five and ten person team relay (with 10km legs)
which has been held annually since 1992.
Brian has contributed many hours to both the Orange
Runners Club and Sullivan Striders over the years. A
former 2:48 marathoner (1:56:20 for the
Bankathon/Chopathon 30km, equivalent to about a 2:06 for
the WM30K), he saw the need for an accurate 30km in the
region to give runners a goal to help them develop
long-run fitness for a spring marathon.
In his opinion, "There is no
purer sport than long distance running; it brings us
back to our roots as human beings.

Salient training advice
In his late 70's, Johnny Kelly, the famed Boston Marathon
runner, was asked how to train. His response: "Get out the
door and put one foot in front of the other [and run]!"
Likewise, I'll keep it simple here.
Runners will take from 2-5 hours to complete course. Get
some practice running longer than you've been doing, then
up and down longer hills to be ready for this race. Rest
up for 5 days before to supercharge your muscles.
Pace yourself on race day, especially uphill for the first
3.5 miles. Hold back in the middle stages of the race. In
the later stages, "hang tough"; be strong-minded.
Don't give up. Believe in your abilities. A marathon and a
30k are about parcelling out your reserves properly and
thinking positively.
