Spartan Trail is continuing to focus its presence within the trail running community, partnering with the New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (Olympic Authority) and its modernized Mt Van Hoevenberg facility to host the Lake Placid Trail Challenge for the second year running.
Scheduled for August 10, 2024, and nestled in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, the event will showcase the infrastructure of Mt Van Hoevenberg. Runners will have the opportunity to choose from three distinct distances offered by the Lake Placid Trail Challenge: 10k, Half Marathon, and 50k.
Spartan adds that these options cater to a diverse range of participants, from novices in the sport to seasoned ultra-marathon enthusiasts. The race venue is conveniently situated 10 minutes outside of downtown Lake Placid, one of the most picturesque mountain villages in the state of New York.
All three distances will start and finish at the Nordic Stadium, just outside Mt Van Hoevenberg’s Mountain Pass Lodge. The course will take them through the greenery of the Adirondack forests, traversing single track, double track, flat, steep, and flowy trails.
