When people ask me why I run, I tell them, there's not really a reason, it's just the adrenaline when you start, and the feeling when you cross that finish line, and know that you are a winner no matter what place you got.

Announcements

Kinderhook Runners Club

The Kinderhook Runners Club is a local organization formed to promote running in the Kinderhook NY area. The club was formed in January of 2009. As of December 2009, we have over 90 members, generally from the Columbia & Rensselaer County areas, but also from the NY Capital District, Boston, etc. Membership is open to everyone. We have two levels of membership, individual and family with annual dues of $20 and $25 respectively.

Care to join us? Here's a membership application.

Saturday Morning Runs

We currently have group runs every Saturday morning. Except for the first Saturday of the month, they begin at the Kinderhook Village Square. On the first Saturday, we generally pick an "away" location.
The runs vary each week. Most runs have optional distances from 3, 5, 9, and 12+ miles. The Run of the Week is published on this site in the Members Only section.
If you care to join us some Saturday email us at info@KinderhookRunnersClub.com, and let us know how many will be coming. We'll give you the route, be there to welcome you, and set water out for you as well!

Wednesday Fun Runs

Every wednesday night at 7PM in the summer 6PM otherwise. The runs are 3-5 miles over a Village loop. We meet in the Kinderhook Village Square.
Come join us, anytime !

Runners Clinics

In the Spring, we offer a 10 week clinic for new and returning runners as well as for kids under 5.
This year weekly turn outs often exceeded 50 participants. Due to it's success we plan on running our clinic again in 2011. Stay tuned for details.

Social Events & Races

We sponsor a number of social events such as the annual Christmas party, and our the summer picnic, and the Autumn “Red Apple Run” through the Samascott Orchards and fields.
