1812 Challenge Weekend
The 1812 Challenge Weekend is a multi-day running event held in Sackets Harbor, New York. The weekend features a variety of individual race distances and multi-event challenges. Activities are split across two days, with shorter distances taking place on Saturday and longer distances held on Sunday.
On Saturday, participants can take part in the 5K or 5 Miler races, which start and end at the 1812 Brewing Company. There is also a Kids Run available on this day. Sunday features the headline 18.12 Challenge and a Half Marathon (13.1 miles), which take place at the Sackets Harbor Battlefield.
Participants looking for more volume can register for several challenge options that combine different races over the two days:
- Patriot Challenge: 5K and Half Marathon
