Hudson Valley Outside exists to highlight sporting events and the athletes who train in the Hudson Valley, the Gunks, Catskills, Hudson Highlands, Hedleburg, and up and down the river. This page is dedicated to our local athletes and their adventures. Share the stories of your adventures and how training at home help you to achieve them. Our ability to hike, run, bike, climb, snowboard, ski... is directly dependent upon others. Whether it be other athletes, coaches, volunteers, rangers, or race organizers our outdoor recreating doesn't happen without the community. Here is where we recognize them. |
