Course, awards and beneficiaries

The course is described as relatively flat and fast. It follows the historic tow path north, crosses the canal to Hudson Crossing Park, loops around the park field, then follows a nature path along the Hudson River before returning on the tow path to Fort Hardy Park. All runners receive a race T-shirt (sizes not guaranteed), refreshments, and hamburgers and hotdogs provided by the Saratoga County American Legion Posts.

Awards are given to the top 5 open male and female finishers, top 3 Masters (over 40) male and female, and top male and female in 5-year age increments. Proceeds benefit the Saratoga County Veterans Trust Fund and will support training, education, healthcare, housing, essential services, and other veteran welfare projects. The course passes Champlain Canal Lock C5 and is tied to local Revolutionary War history and Saratoga County 250th commemoration activities.
