We'll meet up at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 12/17, in the parking lot outside Spins Bowl in Wappingers. The start/finish will be in that area.
We have a 5K-ish route mapped out that will showcase some of the best holiday lights in Wappingers Falls! You can complete the whole route, or just part of it. That's the joy of a fun run/walk!
The 5K-ish route is as follows:
- Head out on N. Mesier Ave towards Mesier Park
- At Mesier Park, make a right and head south on 9D
- Make a left on Maple St and then a left on S. Mesier Ave
- At E. Main St, make a right, and then another right at S. Remsen Ave
- At Maple St., make a left, and another left back onto S. Mesier Ave.
- Follow S. Mesier Ave all the way back to the start/finish area
