JULY 2023 17 RUNNING & WALKING from page 15 on the second half of the marathon route, which therefore affords similar great views and an easier ride. If you are like me and prefer a hillier challenge, team up with a partner to run the two-person relay, where each person runs 13.1 miles. Not ready for a marathon? Then consider the four-person relay with legs of 4.4, 8.7, 5.1 and 8 miles, allowing friends with mixed specialties to compete together. The around the lake logistics are fairly simple, where all buses depart at variously scheduled times from the downtown Schroon Lake area for a hassle-free delivery system. The Pace Bears will be available for both full and half marathon distances. Join a group at the start or at any time during the race itself. This rolling route can be tricky to time properly, but pacers have many years of experience, and will be able to help you reach your time goal. In case you were wondering, a real bear did spectate one year, but fortunately declined to run the entire distance! Before the race, make time for some photo ops alongside the giant trophy carved bear awards, arranged alongside Schroon Lake, and afterwards enjoy a refreshing dip at the adjacent public beach with incredible views! For even more refreshment, Paradox Brewery will be at the marathon finish line. Virtual options are available as well. For slower, non-competitive runners, this is one of the few marathons that offers an early bird special start time. For more info and to register, go to: adirondackmarathon.org. Looking for that elusive Boston qualifier or simply a quality race by runners for runners, expertly led by members of the Hudson-Mohawk Road Runners Club? Then try the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon and Half Marathon on Sunday, October 8. With an extensive website, including course videos, a Spectator Camp Followers Guide and live tracking, this production rivals that of many big city marathons. Two-thirds of the route is on paved, mostly shaded sections of the Mohawk-Hudson Bike- Hike Trail (aka Empire State Trail), while less than one-third is on city streets. With Adirondack leaf peeping is at its peak and Albany foliage approaching full array, you can expect a colorful journey. There is a railroad crossing (with remote chance for a delay), but mats will deduct any time you spend stretching while the train passes (although Boston Marathon does not accept the deduction). Both races are point-to-point with free bus transportation from downtown Albany to the full start at Niskayuna Community Center and the half start at Colonie Town Park, where drop-offs are permitted. Both events finish at Jennings Landing at the Corning Preserve, with scenic views of the Hudson River and downtown Albany. This event attracts runners from over 30 states and several countries, so the finish line party offers the opportunity to trade stories with some new friends as well as many locals. Do consider spending the weekend and the following Monday holiday in town, then join leaf peepers journeying to popular Capital-Saratoga Region and Adirondack vantage points. ◀ FALL BIKE TRAIL AT THE 2022 MOHAWK HUDSON RIVER MARATHON AND HALF MARATHON. Marathon pacers are available to assist on your way to a personal marathon best or Boston qualifier. For a great experience, I encourage you to run the Mohawk Hudson Marathon and Half Marathon. For race details and registration, visit: mohawkhudsonmarathon.com. As for your long-distance journey… May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back!
