Indian Ladder Farms Spiked Apple 5k
The Indian Ladder Farms Spiked Apple 5k takes place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, in Altamont, New York. The event is hosted at Indian Ladder Farms, a centennial farm established in 1916 that features over 60 acres of orchards with 40 varieties of apples. The course is a 5 km cross-country style route consisting of two laps. Participants navigate a landscape that includes views of vineyards and orchards. The terrain features some inclines and areas of uneven footing.
Participants can choose between the following event options:
- 5K Run/Walk
- Volunteer and Run
The race is chip-timed and scored by J3 Timing, with results published online after the event. Top finishers in various age categories, ranging from ages 1-9 to 80 and over, are eligible for custom awards. These awards must be collected on-site on the day of the race.
Registration includes a variety of amenities such as a cotton t-shirt, a shatterproof collapsible glass, and a finisher medal that functions as a bottle opener. All participants receive a pour of cider and a homemade cider donut at the finish line. Professional photos are taken during the event and made available for free download. While strollers are permitted, they are not recommended due to the uneven nature of the farm terrain. Service dogs are the only animals allowed on the property.
