LACE UP FOR A HUDSON VALLEY CLASSIC — RIGHT FROM AROMA THYME BISTRO
Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the Ellenville Run Like the Wind—a race that’s more than just a run; it’s a cherished tradition dating back to 1983. This year, the race starts and finishes at Aroma Thyme Bistro, where the energy kicks off and the celebration wraps up in style.
Our scenic 5K course winds along the base of the stunning Shawangunk Mountains and features a stretch on the newly resurfaced Rail Trail, offering breathtaking views and a smooth, shaded path ideal for both runners and walkers.
After you cross the finish line, join us in the garden at Aroma Thyme for a festive post-race party with local craft beer, wine, food, and the unbeatable vibe of a close-knit community event.
✅ All proceeds support local food pantries and youth scholarships.
👟 All ages & abilities welcome!
