Best Spectating Spot
For those that want to watch family and friends run a portion of the race, fear not, for even though the race goes through the woods we have a perfect spot for you to drive to. The race goes past the Saxon Woods pool and soccer field area at about the 6.2M mark. There is a huge parking lot there (and playground). This is your destination.
From the starting area, get on the Hutchinson River Parkway, northbound. There is an entrance to the parkway off of Webster Avenue.
Head north approximately five miles to Exit 23N, Mamaroneck Avenue.
When you come off the ramp, go right (north) about 1/4 mile.
Make a left at the light into the Saxon Woods pool parking lot.
When you enter the parking area, you will see a house at the back of the lot, a bit to your left. (The pool and playground are to your right.) The race comes down the hill out of the woods to the left of that house, crosses the driveway directly in front of it, and proceeds back up the hill to the right.
It couldn’t be any easier.
To return to New Rochelle make a right out of the lot, go .2 miles and get back on the Hutch southbound.
As you drive south to New Rochelle you will likely see racers on the trail to your right. Honk and scream.
Exit at Mill Road, New Rochelle (eastbound), Exit 18E. As you exit in the ramp, you will likely see police and volunteers as you are about to cross the race course at the 10 mile mark. Honk and scream again.
Follow Mill Road east (right) a hundred yards and bear right at the light onto North Avenue. Proceed down south on North Avenue about 1.35 miles and make a 45° right turn up onto Calton Road. You are near the start/finish. Now follow this map to the side streets near the finish and look for parking. We suggest you click to enlarge the map and print it out to take with you.
Find friends/spouses/parents/children and tell them they look great. Even if they don’t. Grab a smoothie sample.
You’re welcome.
