About this run
Join the Lake George Land Conservancy (LGLC) for the 10th Annual Amy's Adventure Race for the Lake on Saturday, October 3, 2026. This event celebrates a decade of supporting the LGLC's mission to protect the land within the Lake George watershed, preserving its renowned water quality. The race takes place in Amy's Park, a beautiful wooded preserve in the Adirondacks, offering challenging and rugged terrain through forests, ponds, and marshes.
Participants can choose between a 4.5-mile (7.2 km) or a 10-mile trail race. Both courses are designed to showcase the natural beauty and demanding landscape of the Lake George region. Proceeds from the race directly contribute to conserving critical lands that filter pollutants and protect wildlife habitat, ensuring the continued health and wildness of Lake George.
The event is organized by the LGLC Next Gen Committee, a group of young professionals dedicated to environmental stewardship and engaging the community. After the race, enjoy an After-Party featuring beer, community, and a raffle to celebrate a successful day on the trails.
