• This is a two-loop race! The race begins in front of Valcour Brewing and briefly heads west, then south around the building, then east out to Ohio Ave. Runners will exit on to Ohio Ave, and make a right turn (south). At the intersection with Nevada Ave, runners will bear left and continue south to the southern end of the Terry Gordon Bike Path. Runners will then run north on the path and go through the tunnel. Just after the tunnel, runners will take the connector back to Ohio, into the Valcour Brewing entrance, taking a right just before the building and then a left in front of the building through the Adirondack Coast Events arch (this is 1.55 miles). From there, runners will go south on Ohio and do that same loop again.
