Welcome to beautiful Wilmington, NY, the home of Whiteface Mountain and the 8th annual Whiskey Run 5K and 10K!
But why a Whiskey Run you ask? As it turns out, the area has quite a storied history
with liquor, legal and otherwise. During the War of 1812, Wilmington supplied good rye whiskey to the American troops at the Battle of Plattsburgh as part of their daily ration. During prohibition with its proximity to Canada, Wilmington residents provided temporary haven for bootleggers crossing the border, and until recently, Wilmington was home to US Barrel, a whiskey barrel cooperage. So with our somewhat checkered history and natural beauty we invite you to join us for the annual Wilmington Whiteface Whiskey Run starting at 9:30 am at Preston Festival Field in Wilmington. Following the race is the awards ceremony with food available for purchase at Preston Festival Field. Run participants will receive a t-shirt and a “swag bag” filled with quality local goods. Run finishers will receive a medal.

Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 — 6.5K (4 Miles)
July 4 • 8:00 AM Start
Life. Liberty. Lake. Love.
Every Turn Counts.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, this region stood at the cutting edge of the fight
for American independence. Lake Champlain was the highway, the strategy, and the lifeline — and the communities along its shores were right in the middle of it.
This July 4th, we’re celebrating that history the Essex way: by getting outside, gathering together, and running (or walking) through the same beautiful landscape where it all unfolded.
Welcome to the Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 — a professionally chip-timed 4-mile race celebrating community, fresh Adirondack air, working farmland, and a finish that leads straight into one of the best small-town Fourth of July celebrations around.
Brought to you by Lake Champlain Yoga, Pilates & Wellness, and formerly known as the Essex Firecracker Run, this year we’re leveling up for the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution in beautiful Essex-on-Lake Champlain, right in the heart of the Adirondack Park.
Yes, it’s historic.
Yes, it’s meaningful.
Yes, it’s also going to be a lot of fun.
Not a runner? You can still be part of the revolution. Register to support High Peaks Hospice and receive the commemorative race shirt or go to our online store. All proceeds from the Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 benefit High Peaks Hospice, supporting compassionate end-of-life care for families throughout our region.
Early registration is open now — and the early bird price disappears soon.
Runners from across the region are already registering!
Come make a little history of your own in Essex.
Runners, walkers, families, first-timers, and seasoned racers are all welcome. If you can cover four miles and enjoy a good Fourth of July celebration, you belong here. Invite a friend, form a team, or bring the whole family — Independence Day is better together.

Downtown historic Essex, just steps from Lake Champlain and the town’s 4th of July festivities.
*Parking is available downtown. Plan ahead and allow 7–10 minutes to walk to the start. Consider it your warm-up.
The Course (It’s a Good One)
Flat start.
One gentle uphill.
Fast downhill finish.
The race begins on a firm, hard-packed country dirt road — easy underfoot and perfect for settling into your stride. From there, the course moves through open farmland in the Adirondack Park, passing cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and horses.
It’s basically a pastoral postcard… with sneakers.
After transitioning to paved roads, there’s one manageable climb (you’ve got this), followed by a downhill stretch that carries you into downtown Essex for a strong finish surrounded by parade energy.
And yes — Lake Champlain is right there at the end. If you decide to jump in afterward, we won’t judge. We might join you.
Run it fast, jog it easy, or walk it with friends — then stay downtown for the parade, music, food, and the best small-town Fourth of July celebration around.
Bring a phone or camera — the finish line and lake views make for excellent Fourth of July photos.
This scenic, smooth, and relatively fast course welcomes competitive runners, casual joggers, walkers, families, and anyone who enjoys fresh air and a good reason to celebrate.
If you’re chasing a personal best, this course can deliver — and if you’re here for the scenery and celebration, you’ll fit right in too.

In 2026 The Longest Day Will be exploring a new region of the Adirondack Mountains in New York. This will be a 24 hour event held in the heart of one of the largest parks in the US. Teams of 2 - 4
will experience world class single track mountain biking, incredible navigation through forests and over mountains, and exciting wilderness packrafting.
This race is built to challenge the toughest adventure racers but also give new folks the chance to experience a longer race format. On this course many of the checkpoints will be optional with a fewer number of mandatory points to make sure that everyone gets across the finish line together.
Unfortunately our permitting does not allow for solo racers for this event.
The course we designed will be a challenge both for experienced racers and new folks alike so don’t shy away if you’re just starting out in AR, we’ve got something for everyone!
Race Course Highlights:
• Strategic route planning
• Pre-plotted maps
• Scenic and challenging terrain
• Killer post-race feed
This year’s race will take place in brand new AR territory. So get ready for an amazing adventure in a brand new venue!
Since 2026 will feature packrafting, boats will NOT be provided by the race organization. We are requiring all teams to provide their own packrafts for the event. We are passing this savings onto the participants with lower entry fees for 2026

Last Man Standing Lake Placid
July 25th, 2026 at 9:00 AM
Last Man Standing is a backyard ultra race held on the pristine, wooded trails at Mt. Hovenberg in Lake Placid, New York. Based on the
original Backyard Ultra format created by Lazarus Lake, the rules are simple—but finishing is anything but.
You must complete one 4.167-mile loop every hour on the hour. Finish a loop early? Great—rest, refuel, stretch, panic, question your life choices—just be back in the corral before the next bell rings. The moment you fail to start a loop on time, you’re out.
Some show up to win. Most show up to find out what they’re made of. Whether your goal is 2 loops or 40, this event is about going further than you thought possible.
The Last Man Standing course is as inviting as it is challenging. Those who are new to trail running and the backyard ultra format may find themselves completing new personal best distances. Trail veterans will push against their toughest limits and break through them!

The Fairfax Egg Run is a family-friendly community event hosted by the
Fairfax Parks and Recreation Department.
Join us for a 5K Run, 10K Run or 5K Fun Walk. We also offer a Kids Fun Run for those 12
years old and under. Our beautiful course includes gentle, rolling hills and offers views of the Lamoille River. After the race, enjoy a made-to-order omelet featuring locally sourced ingredients and other post-race refreshments in our food tent. To commemorate your participation, you can order a Race T-shirt when you register for the race!
Proceeds from the race benefit the Fairfax Community Center Restoration Project. With new and exciting updates already started, we are looking to the future of our town. This building currently serves as the meeting place for several weekly yoga classes, karate classes, fencing clubs, Girl and Boy Scout meetings, dog training classes and so much more. With the continued work on this building, we will be able to accommodate the growth of our town and continue to bring excellent opportunities to Fairfax.
We will award prizes to the three top finishers in the 5K Run and the 10K Run. We will also have awards for top three performers in each age group. As always, your race registration automatically enters you into our great post-race raffle.
Timing services will again be provided by 802 Timing. This is a chip-timed race, and we will be using "chip time" for awards (as opposed to "gun time"). This COULD mean that someone who finishes physically ahead of a competitor might have a longer time than one who starts at the back of the pack and cruises a fast time.
Register by June 1 to take advantage of early-bird pricing!
We look forward to seeing you at the Start line!

This is definitely one of our racers' favorite races. There are no huge hills and the scenery is beautiful. Beginning and ending at picturesque Shelburne Beach, you will run along dirt, gravel and
paved roads featuring scenic views of Vermont countryside and rural farmland. Run past Charlotte Beach situated on beautiful Lake Champlain just before entering the Holmes Creek Covered Bridge for the first time. The course continues on quiet, rolling hills before arriving at the turnaround. The half marathon runs through the covered bridge twice. The 5K and 10K turn around before reaching the bridge (although it's not that far beyond the 10K turnaround, so if you want to run through it, it's not going to add that much to your finish time for 10K runners).
