Route information
Half Marathon
The Palisades Half Marathon is a challenging but rewarding race. Run along the historic Henry Hudson Drive - one of the nation's first recognized scenic roads - as you ascend, then descend the cliffs. With an elevation change of over 1200 feet, this course may be tough, but the setting makes it more than worth it!
