Finish up the month at these Memorial Day races with your choice of distances and geography. On Saturday, May 25, the Voorheesville Memorial Day Races: 15K Run & 3.25K Run/Fun Walk has been a part of Voorheesville’s Memorial Day celebration since 1976, and the Voorheesville Running and Cycling Club is conducting their 47th annual race.

APRIL 2024 11 On Sunday, May 26, run the 4th annual Miles on the Mohawk 10M, a pointto-point 10-mile road race on the scenic Empire State Trail and Mohawk Hudson Bike Trail along the Mohawk River and Erie Canal. It’s scenic, flat, fast and PR worthy. Directed by the team at ARE Event Productions, this mostly paved bike trail race begins at Mabee Farm, Rotterdam Junction and finishes at Mohawk Harbor in Schenectady. The post-race gathering includes great food, live music and awards. Register: areep.com. Also, on Sunday, May 26, it’s the Saratoga Memorial 5K & Duathlon, staged at the Saratoga Casino Hotel in Saratoga Springs. The 5K is a relatively flat course perfect for individuals and families. Compete for top honors in your age group or just start your day with casual run or walk for a good cause. The race is a fundraising event for the Saratoga Springs Lions Club. What began as a fundraising idea to help participants train for triathlon races, the Memorial Duathlon & 5K has evolved from a road race into a community event that brings families, friends and businesses together for a challenging and fun athletic event while acknowledging our fallen troops and veteran population. The duathlon is a three-stage race with a 5K run, followed by a 30K bike, and an additional 5K run. While the race draws top level competitors, the course is designed to allow for many levels of participation. One can compete as an individual or part of a two- or three-person team. Register: thememorialduathlon5k.com. Finally, the Vermont City Marathon & Relay, also on Sunday, May 26, is a flat, fast course that winds through Burlington and along Lake Champlain. The race hits the best of Burlington including the Church Street Marketplace and Burlington Bike Path with epic views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. The course is a double loop which starts and finishes in Waterfront Park. Run the full marathon or gather a team for the two-, three- or five-person relays. Register: runvermont.org. Whether you’re fast or slow, competitive or recreational, there’s something for everyone. With so many great races and a variety of distances and locales to choose from, you’ll have a busy racing season! Mona Kulkarni Caron (mona@adksports. com) is a race director of the Good Karma 5K Run/Walk, mentor for the Run for Women 5K Training Challenge, and enjoys running and training for races, when she’s not working at Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor.
