What is the Hudson Valley Grand Prix (HVGP)

The Hudson Valley Grand Prix, now in its tenth year, is a year-long race program designed to encourage friendly competition and achieve personal goals while interspersing excitement and suspense. A variety of distances and difficulty levels encourages goal-inspiring performances by runners exercising perseverance, patience, and vigilance. Come join us as we move into a new year of exciting and unique competition that will stimulate the running community. The HVGP at one time or another has attracted almost all elite runners in the region, plus dedicated "non-elite runners". The 16-race program culminates in a luncheon, in January, which is free to all HVGP members and includes gift certificates courtesy of Groo's Athlete's Action: top 3, male and female overall, and first in class in all qualifying age-groups.

The HVGP Board includes veteran athletes John Finnigan, Director; Cliff Davis; Marco Pabon; George Shurter; Steve Brockett; Abby Billias; Drew Priest; Todd Jennings, ORC liaison; Kim Klemen, SSRC liaison. Sponsors include Groo's Athlete's Action of Middletown, Rowley Building Products, The McMickle Agency (Middletown), and The Winners Bracket (Middletown).  Honorable mention: Orange Runners Club and Sullivan Striders.
