ADK 5K : Lake George, NY
The ADK 5K is a 5-kilometre out-and-back that runs along the southern shore of Lake George and starts and finishes at Adirondack Brewing Company, 33 Canada Street, Lake George, NY. The course offers panoramic lake views in early fall and follows the shoreline for much of the route. Hills are minimal; the largest climb is a 60-foot rise between Beach Road and 9L at Garrisons.
Race registration includes chip timing and event swag such as an ADK 5K knit beanie and a branded can glass. Teams of ten or more receive unique team swag, and individuals can earn team swag by donating $20 to the beneficiary, Lake George Land Conservancy. Participants aged 21 and over may receive an Adirondack Brewing Company beer at the finish.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at the brewery parking lot and on race morning at the start line. Organizers request that participants carpool or bring designated drivers because the brewery will be open for business; there is no parking at the brewery or the adjacent distillery. All parking will be on-street; the village requests use of legal spaces on nearby back streets such as Dieskau Street, Mohican Street, and Phillips Street.
Post-race activity includes live music, food trucks, and yard games. Awards are given in ten-year age groups from under ten through 70+, and overall 1st to 3rd places are awarded for men and women. Race day photos are free to download. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
