SRT Run 30 Miler
On Saturday, September 9th, 2023, I had the privilege to stand at the start line of my first self-supported ultra-marathon. As it is known, the SRT Run is a race that follows the Shawanagunk Ridge Trail in the Shawanagunk mountain range in upstate New York. The SRT has three distances: 70, 30, and 13.2 miles.

It had been a while since I ran in that area, and I forgot the staggering beauty around every turn. It seemed that everywhere I looked, there was something beautiful to behold. Incredible vistas lead my eyes all of the way to the NYC skyline. Groves of pine and oak trees, fields of blueberry bushes and grasses, rocky sections with tiny flora growing out of cracks, and bubbling streams with waterfalls. I ran through one area thinking this was my favorite, only to run through another section and think, "No, THIS is my favorite," repeatedly.
