The New York State Canal system has been designated a National Historic Landmark and Lock C5, next to Hudson Crossing Park, offers many features that helped place New York’s operating canals among the premier historic sites in the United States. Every year, participants have commented how wonderful the course is and how great the volunteers are. In addition to money raised through donations, a portion of race proceeds go to Hudson Crossing Park, a 501(c)(3) that is not only the race venue, but provides many of the great volunteers at the event.
