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.

Courses

​

There is a highlander and lowlander course this year. The length of Highlander - the traditional 26.2 km with King of the Mountain and trail run. There will be three map exchanges for Highlanders with an established time limit at the end of each leg and one map exchange for Lowlanders.
 

Both High and Lowlanders will enjoy the Surebridge area on one of their legs. Thanks to Greg Balter's new cartography the Highlander's third leg uses part of Harriman State Park that has not been used for orienteering before.

 Runners can leave thier own food/drink to be taken to first and third map exchange. There will be water and electrolytes drinks at the second map exchange - at the end of the trail run.
