Amy's Adventure Race for the Lake

Lace up your trail shoes for the 10th Annual Amy's Adventure Race for the Lake, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Bolton Landing, NY, on October 3, 2026. This exhilarating trail race offers a unique blend of competitive challenge and stunning Adirondack scenery, all while supporting a vital cause. Runners can choose between a challenging 4.5-mile loop or a more demanding 10-mile course, both winding through the beautifully wooded Amy's Park. Expect rugged terrain, muddy paths, and steep climbs, with the 4.5-mile route featuring around 700 feet of elevation gain, and the 10-mile option essentially doubling this adventure. As you navigate ponds, marshes, and dense forests, you'll be treated to spectacular views and the vibrant fall foliage that makes the Lake George region truly special.

This race isn't just about personal bests; it's a powerful stride for conservation. All proceeds directly support the Lake George Land Conservancy's mission to protect the world-renowned water quality of Lake George and conserve critical lands within its watershed. Aid stations along the course will keep you fueled with hydration and energy gels to help you conquer the challenging terrain. Typical race day conditions in early October offer crisp air, with highs around 65F and lows around 43F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather for an unforgettable experience.

After crossing the finish line at Amy's Park, the adventure continues with an lively after-party at the Bolton Landing Brewing Company. This community celebration includes a raffle, and a celebratory beer for finishers, making it a perfect culmination to a day of physical achievement and environmental stewardship. Amy's Adventure Race for the Lake promises a muddy good time for seasoned trail runners and newcomers alike, offering a memorable experience for competitors aged 7 to 75, making it a truly family-friendly event.
