MAY 2024 15 (CLOCKWISE) ■ FINAL KICK AT THE 2023 KINDERHOOK OK5K RACE. ■ THE PACK AT 2023 ROUTE 50 MILE IN BURNT HILLS. ■ HAWAIIAN SPIRIT AT THE ALOHA FAMILY 5K IN 2023. ■ FINISH CELEBRATION AT THE 2023 GOOD KARMA 5K. RUNNING & WALKING continued from 13 the Adirondacks, Vermont and Quebec. Afterwards, enjoy your free meal voucher at any of the participating area restaurants. Bike info: bikereg.com. Go to: runreg.com. Spend your Sunday, June 2, enjoying some easier events. The Literacy 5K Run/Walk, held at the Corning Preserve (Albany Rowing Club) boathouse/launch in Albany, with a flat out-and-back bike trail route, along the Hudson River. It’s organized by and benefits the Literacy Volunteers, who provide English language instruction, supplies and programs to Capital Region children and adults seeking help with reading and math skills. Teams have a rather unique format, with the more folks you recruit, the greater the discount each team member receives. There is also a Youth Mile (14-under) and Youth Clubs Quarter Mile before the 5K. Visit: zippyreg.com. Also on June 2, the Capital Region Heart Walk & Run at the Harriman State Office Campus in Albany, is part of a nationwide program to benefit the American Heart Association. In addition to the nice flat walk/run, enjoy the kids’ activities as well as healthy heart information. As special touch, stroke and heart attack survivors are invited to funnel toward a special lane at the finish. Go to: capitalregionheartwalk.org Blessedly, there is no nursery rhyme choice for the following weekend. The folks at the 24th annual Kinderhook OK5K Race in the village of Kinderhook on Saturday, June 8 apparently did their research or just got lucky. The “fastest 5K in the area” is on a flat USATF-certified route that offers a PR opportunity – and walkers are welcome. The OK5K is also a super family outing. Kids ages 4-12 can enjoy their own free OK 1 Run (one-miler). New this year, is a free D.A.Y.S.I. 100-meter Dash, which is inclusive for all abilities. In the spirit of community, there are several free entries available for those who need them, and all proceeds go to local nonprofits. Visit: ok5krace.com. If you long for a quick warmup to prep for the following weekend, stretch your legs at the 15th annual Route 50 Mile in Burnt Hills on Thursday, June 13 at 6:50pm. This is a family-friendly event, with family entry discounts, plenty of awards, and ice cream to enjoy while you watch the Flag Day Parade that follows the race. It’s part of the USATF-Adk Grand Prix Series so there will be a large contingent of fast runners, as well as past BH-BL High School runners focused on winning the “Spartan Award.” Proceeds benefit CAPTAIN Community Human Services. Go to: captaincares.org. After that sprint, you will be ready for the 10th annual Good Karma 5K Run/Walk at Shenendehowa Schools in Clifton Park on Saturday, June 15. Campus roads will be closed to traffic so you can relax, concentrate on your running, and not worry about your kids running solo. This is another family-friendly event with a yoga warm-up, kids’ run, henna tattoo artist, Bollywood music, Indian street food, and a nice T-shirt – something for everyone. Handcycles/wheelchairs are welcome, and there’s also a virtual option. Proceeds benefit AIM for Seva for children’s education in rural India, Regional Food Bank of NENY, and Shen’s Bountiful Backpack program. Overall winners receive gift cards to Fleet Feet Sports and local Indian restaurants. Visit: zippyreg.com. Or, same day, at the Aloha Family 5K & 1-Mile Fun Walk at Haviland Cove Park in Glens Falls, you can don your favorite Hawaiian gear to hula and welcome summer along the historic Feeder Canal. Be inspired by beach tunes as you run or walk the off-street course, where jogging strollers are permitted. Afterwards, celebrate with music, kids’ activities and photo opportunities. This Glens Falls Hospital event benefits Amanda’s House which provides complimentary accommodations for patient’s families. Go to: runsignup.com. Also on June 15 is the Run for the Ages 5K, beginning at and organized by Tackett Chiropractic Center in Queensbury. This run/walk – bridging generations of the community – will donate proceeds to Big Brothers, Big Sisters and Glens Falls Senior Center. There will be awards to the top three male/female overall and 10-year age groups. Visit: runsignup.com. For more celebration, again on June 15, consider the seventh annual Wilmington-Whiteface Whiskey Run at Preston Festival Field – with a 5K run/walk and 10K run. Why whiskey? It seems that Wilmington has a somewhat checkered past, supplying whiskey to the American soldiers at the Battle of Plattsburgh, then serving as a stopover for bootleggers plying the Canadian border route during prohibition. Registrants receive a T-shirt, local swag, and a cool whiskey flask medal! With the motto, “come for the run and stay for the day,” there will be plenty for the family to do – from whiskey tastings, local distillers, food, festival, 1812 reenactors – with many local attractions. Proceeds benefit the Wilmington Historical Society. Go to: adkwhiskeyrun.com. After all that adventure, you should be ready for the fifth annual Adirondack 7 Mile Race to the Lakes on Saturday, June 22. The race to Lake George begins at SUNY Adirondack in Queensbury, then follows the shaded Warren County Bikeway, finishing at Battlefield State Park, near Million Dollar Beach. This Adirondack Runners event offers gender-specific performance running shirts to all registered by May 30 – these well-designed shirts are worth the early-decision effort. After homemade refreshments at the lake, busses will transport you back to SUNY. Or, make this a family outing by having them drop you off, then meet you at the lake, with a picnic and bathing suit at the ready. The race benefits LGA Floating Classroom and Adirondack Runners scholarships. Visit: zippyreg.com. After this flurry of events, take a few days off to recharge before July takes over!

She is a children’s librarian at the Saratoga Springs Public Library.
