Lake Placid Trail Challenge
The Lake Placid Trail Challenge, held at Mt. Van Hoevenberg in Lake Placid, NY, offers runners a scenic and challenging experience on August 9, 2025. This event features three race distances: 10K, half marathon (21K), and 50K, all set on diverse single-track trails known for their steep climbs and flowy sections.
The course starts and finishes in the historic winter sports stadium used during the 1980 Winter Olympics, guiding participants through dense forests and up to the summit near a bobsled track, where runners are rewarded with epic views before a demanding descent. The summer event enjoys mild temperatures and an average altitude of 550 meters. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
