About the River Run for the Roots
The course starts and finishes in the parking lot behind Common Roots Brewery, loops through the village, and runs a stretch along the Hudson River on a designated byway. Most of it is paved, but a section dips onto gravel near the riverbank. The race benefits the Common Roots Foundation, which supports community wellness and environmental efforts in the region.
Race-day check-in opens in the morning outside the Common Roots Bierhall on Saratoga Ave, with a pre-race packet pickup option the evening before. Parking is in the lot directly behind the brewery. After the race, the celebration moves into the brewery itself, where food and beer are part of the post-race scene.
