Event Description
 

The Hudson Highlander is an ultimate test of navigation and endurance. Metric marathon, in beautiful Harriman State Park is not for the faint of heart. You will battle rugged Harriman terrain, mountain laurel, and blueberry bushes while trying to keep your head cool for navigation, and it will be technical. Following is permitted.
