One of the Hudson Valley’s most cherished traditions is back—Ellenville Run Like the Wind returns for another year of community, movement, and meaningful impact.

Since 1983, this annual 5K has brought people of all ages and abilities together to run or walk a scenic course that winds through the heart of Ellenville.

We caught up with Marcus Guiliano, owner of Aroma Thyme Bistro where the race begins and ends to talk about the race’s legacy, its impact on local causes, and what makes this event such a standout in the region.
