OCTOBER 2023 7 RUNNING & WALKING START OF THE FALL BACK 5 TRAIL RACE AT SARATOGA SPA STATE PARK. SARATOGA STRYDERS FUN CELEBRATION FOR ALL AT GIRLS ON THE RUN 5K IN ALBANY. GOTRCR November Racing Fall Classics for All STUDENTS FINISH THE SHENENDEHOWA VETERANS DAY DASH. SHEN XC AND T&F By Kristen Hislop Fall in the Northeast brings the most amazing running weather. We have beautiful foliage with cool, crisp mornings. Our running community is lucky to have some awesome events to choose from that support incredible organizations. Post Covid, we lost some events, but as you’ll see with the slate that we are profiling, some are celebrating 15 and even 47 years! Get registered for a fun fall and support our sport. Not interested in running or walking, then jump in to volunteer. Volunteering offers a way to stay involved, meet some great people, cheer on athletes, and support local nonprofits. Starting on Saturday, November 4, the 11th annual Revolutionary Run for Veterans at “America’s Turning Point” 5K begins at Fort Hardy Park in Schuylerville and runs north along the historic towpath across the Champlain Canal and into Hudson Crossing Park. This race is unique in that you start on a field, run on a trail and finish on the roads! Something for everyone. The run starts at 10am and is followed by refreshments (hamburgers and hot dogs provided by the Saratoga County American Legion Posts) with ceremonies for Veterans and award winners at Fort Hardy Park. The race will also commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Battles at Saratoga, known as America’s Turning Point. Bring the kids along for the free fun run. The Saratoga County 250th American Revolution Commission, consisting of 13 official members (in honor of the 13 original colonies), has planned and organized multiple ceremonies, events, activities and celebrations recognizing the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution in Saratoga County including recognition at this race. Online registration is $40 until Nov. 3 and proceeds benefit the Saratoga County Veterans Trust Fund. Register: runsignup.com. The following day on Sunday, November 5, you’ll be happy to hit the trails for the Fall Back 5 Trail Race. You even get an extra hour of sleep before you head over to the Saratoga Spa State Park. Once again, you’ve got a combination of terrain with a few fun hills and even a staircase! Running this event you’ll discover new areas of the park, but don’t delay since registration closes at 200 runners. Hosted by Saratoga Stryders (members get a $2 discount) this race features awards donated by iRun LOCAL and a post-race door prize drawing open to all runners and volunteers. You do have to be present to win! The race starts at 10am and there is day-of registration ($35) beginning at 8:30am. It is $30 online until Nov. 2. You can head to iRun LOCAL on Saturday to register and if already registered pick up your bib from 12-2pm. Net proceeds from the event will be used to support the programs and activities of the Saratoga Stryders. For more info: saratogastryders. org. To register: runsignup.com. November is full of unique runs with great venues. On Friday, November 10, the 15th annual Shenendehowa Veterans Day Dash 5K Run/Walk will be held on the Shenendehowa Central School campus in Clifton Park. This 5K starts with a bang, literally from a revolutionary war cannon, on the track. Runners then head out onto the closed course for a flat and fast 5K on the campus. This race is a favorite as it showcases some of Shenendehowa’s sports teams. The boys swim team, boys/ girls wrestling, boys/girls Nordic skiing, and of course the cross-country runners are on the course in their sports attire. Yes, that means speedos and singlets! Veterans can run for free by emailing for a code: info@freihofersrun.com. The day kicks off at 9am with kids’ runs on the track followed by the 5K at 10am. A ceremony to honor veterans precedes the awards ceremony. New this year are high school age group awards for non-Shenendehowa schools. Athletes from area schools are invited to join the 5K and will have their own awards category – more recognition of our area youth athletes. Registration is $30 until Oct. 27, then goes up to $35 through race day. This event benefits the Shenendehowa boys cross-country and track & field programs. Over 150 boys participate each school year! These funds support three seasons of athletics. Donations can be made on the registration page for those unable to join on Friday. Sign-up: zippyreg.com. Registration is open for the 47th annual MVP Health Care Stockade-athon 15K on Sunday, November 12. This course celebrates the history of Schenectady with a tour of the notable Stockade district, a jaunt by Union College on the way past stately General Electric Realty Plot homes and leafy neighborhoods, and a ribbon around the roads historic Central Park, then finishing with a dash through the historic Vale Cemetery down to a fast finish.
