On October 13th, 2014 the third annual Fall Foliage Half- Marathon and 5k will be held in Rhinebeck, NY. The event is organized by Team Fox Member Matt Linick. This year’s edition is shaping up to be the most popular yet and is likely to sell-out its 1000 spots!
Linick, whose father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 15 years ago, says, “as someone who has seen firsthand the effects of PD and the challenges it has presented within our family, The Michael J Fox Foundation and Team Fox have been sources of both information and hope, and it has been our pleasure to support them through our efforts with the Fall Foliage Half-Marathon.”
The race starts at 10am which gives last-minute runners the chance to get to the event. Package pickup can also be done on race day between 8am & 9:15am.
The event is a favorite among New Yorkers, as Team Fox Mentor and Fall Foliage veteran Gene Gurkoff describes, “It’s a spectacularly beautiful race, a perfect tune up for the NYC Marathon, and a wonderful way to support Team Fox. If you live in or near NYC, there’s no better way to spend a fall Sunday,”
