River Run for the Roots

River Run for the Roots

River Run for the Roots is a fundraising 5K (3.1 miles) run and walk that starts and finishes in the Park & Ride lot behind Common Roots at 58 Saratoga Ave., South Glens Falls, NY. The looped course passes through the village of South Glens Falls and along the Betar Byway by the Hudson River. About half a mile of the route follows a gravel section on the SGF Beach Bikeway; the remainder is on paved surfaces.

Event options include:

• 5K (3.1 miles) race/walk
• Stroller division 3.1 miles, participants must push another person in a stroller
• Shirt only option for non-racers and supporters; shirt is a unisex tank and does not include a race bib

This event supports the Common Roots Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works on community wellness, environmental stewardship, and assistance in times of need in northeastern New York. Awards are given to top overall finishers and to age-group placers, including recognition for the stroller division. Parking is available in the Park & Ride lot behind Common Roots. A post-race celebration with food and beer takes place at the brewery. Registration fees vary by registration period and include options that may provide a T-shirt and a beer coupon.
