·Rob Brook Trail

Male ultra-marathon runner from Armonk, NY

Joseph Cloidt activated his Garmin inReach SOS at approximately 6:30 p.m. on July 19, 2024, during the Jigger Johnson Ultra 108-mile foot race, due to debilitating cramps that left him unable to walk for about three hours. Conservation Officers responded but could not locate him. Fellow race participants found him and transported him to Route 112 in Albany, and he arrived at the Command Site at 10:05 p.m.

Before you head out: check the forecast, carry the Ten Essentials, leave your plans with someone, and be willing to turn back.
