Jerry Garcia Memorial River Run & Walk

The Jerry Garcia Memorial River Run & Walk is an annual 4-mile run/walk event held in Arkville, New York, in the scenic Catskill Mountains along the East Branch of the Delaware River. Celebrating its 22nd anniversary in 2025, the course features a route through farmland and the charming Village of Margaretville. The event includes a post-race party with a chicken and veggie BBQ, refreshments, and live music by "Mind Left Body," a Grateful Dead tribute band.

Participants receive a short-sleeve tee shirt, and awards are given across various age groups and weight categories. The event fosters a festive, community atmosphere with local accommodations nearby. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
