Meet Samantha, a true inspiration in the running community! After an incredible journey of losing 155 pounds, she’s transformed her life one step at a time. Samantha’s passion for running shines through in every race she tackles. Whether she’s sprinting through a 5K or pushing her limits in longer distances, her determination is unstoppable—and she’s just getting started!

This April, Samantha is gearing up for her biggest challenge yet: her first half marathon. She’s been training hard, with her trusty running f***y pack as her go-to accessory, keeping her essentials close as she logs the miles. Running early mornings, late nights, and even in the rain doesn’t faze her—thanks to her glow-up vest and fresh Hoka running shoes, she stays visible and safe no matter the conditions. Samantha’s story is a testament to resilience, and her love for the sport inspires everyone around her.

Come cheer Samantha on at the Helderberg to Hudson Half Marathon on Saturday, April 12th! Her first half—still time to join the run!

This past Saturday, our Electric City 10K kicked off our 'spring' (ha!) race season and our 29.3 Challenge. Over 1,000 of you braved absolutely wild conditions, with multiple snow squalls pre-race and relentless winds whose gusts made a mockery of anything we attempted to "bolt down". On the course, it pushed you around, it blew over markings & cones, and even some bibs went airborne - indeed, precious free Druthers Brewing Company beer coupons may have been seen getting picked up by those walking their dogs at the right time in Scotia. BUT YOU DID IT.

And for as much as we wanted it to be a nice(r) day, *and* for as much as certain aspects would have been easier (or visible, or remained upright), we also must admit that on some level, it truly becomes a more memorable shared experience when TOGETHER we get through it.

Pulling it off was a substantial undertaking involving coordination with Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady, Mohawk Harbor, the Schenectady County Sheriff's Department, and the police departments of Schenectady, Glenville, and Scotia. We also had Sch. Fire Dept providing EMS services.

We are incredibly grateful for ALL of them (not just) granting permission to allow this to happen but actively participating in its success. Also, on race day, Rivers Casino (/The Landing Hotel) really helped us all by allowing us to "on the fly" abandon the courtyard and take over Level 1 of their parking garage to avoid your Bountiful Bread breakfast blowing into the Mohawk River. (And to have overhead shelter.)

Bountiful and Druthers have sponsored the event since its inception, and we also appreciate the continued support of longtime sponsor Nark Running & Strength, as well as Garelick Farms, and Together for Youth. It is through their support that we are able to elevate your experience, turning this race truly into an event. And we can't wait to see you at the next one!

All participants will be emailed the link to photos later today.

Over 1,100 will be joining us, and the Participant Handbook is now available! https://areep.com/handbook

Please read it. A LOT goes into coordinating an event like this, running on the roads of Schenectady, Glenville & Scotia, across 2 bridges, and working around the construction of the new Mohawk Harbor Event Center. But the community and our sponsors are ALL-IN on helping make this AWESOME!

Packet Pick-up is available on FRI (4pm to 6pm @ 1028 Bdway, 12204 [AREEP office]) and on RACE DAY at the finish.

Get your racin' shoes ready!
