The Daily Mail's Doron Tyler Antrim writes about runner Todd Jennings, 49, of Monroe (Orange County) who is taking on a 315-mile marathon over eight days to raise money for nonprofit environmental group Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, founded by Pete Seeger in 1969. The group conducts environmental science on the Clearwater, a historic 106-foot-long sloop. The Hudson River Run 2012 will start May 12 at Lake Tear of the Clouds on Mount Marcy — the state’s highest peak — and finish at The Battery Conservancy in Manhattan. Jennings will pass through Greene County on May 16, during a 43-mile stretch from Cohoes to Catskill. He hopes to raise between $50 and $100,000 for the organization.
