Mother's Day 10K - Lake Placid
A new off-road running event on the Adirondack Rail Trail in Lake Placid on May 8, 2027. The out-and-back course starts and finishes at Bike Lake Placid (455 Old Military Rd) and uses sections of the rail trail for both races.
Distances:
- 3.1 miles (Mothers Day 5K Race)
- 6.2 miles (Mothers Day 10K Race)
Registration opened on 2026-10-12 and closes on 2027-01-31. Listed entry fees are $35 for the 5K and $50 for the 10K. The entry fee includes racing, awards, pre and post race nourishment and festivities, local business offers, and a participant gift. Bib pickup is available on race day at the start location. Parking is provided at the Lake Placid Firehouse lot with ADA parking at Bike Lake Placid.
The event includes cupless water provision at the finish and an on-course aid station at the turnaround in the Ray Brook straightaway; participants are encouraged to bring a personal vessel. Wave starts may be used to manage trail traffic. The stroller and pet friendly field begins at Bike Lake Placid shortly after the 10K start and is an out-and-back of approximately 5 kilometers with a limited number of entrants to reduce congestion. No children under 13 may run with a dog. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the Adirondack Rail Trail Association and the Tri Lakes Humane Society.
Awards are given to the top three finishers in categories including Youth (up to age 20), Open (21 to 45), and Masters (46 and up). The U10 category applies to the 5K with prizes open to any gender. A non binary category is ageless. Youth age bands include separate boys and girls classes for ages 10 to 20. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
