We are thrilled to have successfully relaunched the popular "Rock the River" race under a new name! This breathtaking 13.1 mile route leads runners along the banks of the Hudson river over the rolling peaks of the Palisades cliffs.
The race starts and finishes at Ross Dock Picnic Area in the Palisades Interstate Park in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Runners will experience the unique majesty of the ancient cliffs soaring hundreds of feet overhead and views of the Manhattan skyline just across the water.
All proceeds benefit the Palisades Parks Conservancy and the network of 29 parks and historic sites stretching from the GW Bridge to the Shawangunk Ridge and the Catskill Mountains.
With an elevation change of more than 1600 feet, the Palisades Half Marathon is a challenging race, but the setting makes it more than worth it!
