13.1 Miles 3.1 Miles Run Trail Walk

🌄 Celebrate Spring. Embrace the Adirondacks. 🌄

Each spring, the Doc Lopez Run for Health brings runners, walkers, and outdoor enthusiasts together for a refreshing start to the season, all while supporting population health with Elizabethtown Community Hospital.

This beloved community event offers something for everyone:

🏔️ Half Marathon: A stunning 13.1‑mile point‑to‑point course honoring Dr. Robert “Doc” Lopez: veterinarian, accomplished runner, and Adirondack legend. The race begins in Keene Valley and follows the scenic NY Route 9N corridor straight into Elizabethtown.

🌲 5K Trail Race: A fun, family‑friendly route inviting participants of all ages and abilities to run, jog, walk, or even skip along a beautiful Adirondack trail. New route this year!

Running club and family discounts are available during registration!

Thanks to our generous event sponsors, registration stays affordable and more of the proceeds go directly toward supporting patients and families in our community. It’s a true celebration of health, nature, and togetherness.

    Welcome to our 20th Annual Half Marathon Unplugged that runs along the Burlington Greenway (bike path), which is adjacent to Lake Champlain with the Adirondacks in the distance. You won’t see 25,000 spectators or hear bands along the way, like with the M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon & Relay, but you WILL experience a scenic, very flat, half marathon race, with some fun frills along the way and especially at the finish festival. It's fun frills, no hills!

    This is a perfect 'training race' for those running the M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon on May 24th. The race course is point-to-point, starting at Airport Park in Colchester and finishing near Switchback Brewing on Flynn Avenue in Burlington. There will be three water stations along the course and at the finish, as well as a post-race party at Switchback.

    Beginning and ending at Shelburne Field House, the half marathon is a loop course in picturesque Shelburne, Vermont. You’ll be running on a combination of dirt and back roads including a portion on the Meach Cove property, running past Shelburne Farms, and a stretch of Harbor Road with beautiful views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks. The 5K and 10K courses are both out-and-back courses that run along Harbor Road and back. The 5K is relatively flat, whereas the 10K has a couple of hills.
