Visit this site for information on or to register for the 30th Annual DUTCHESS COUNTY CLASSIC.  The 
event will be held on Sunday, September 21, 2008.  This year's Classic includes a 1 mile Kids' Fun 
Run, a 5K (3.1 miles), and a 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles).  I believe if you register on Active.com, there 
is a slight discount in the registration fee.
