Lake Placid Classic Half Marathon & 10K: Running Through Peak Foliage in the Adirondacks, October 10-12
What's Happening
October 10-12 is Lake Placid's biggest fall weekend, with three events converging at what Priceline named the #1 Fall Foliage Destination in the U.S. for 2026. Among them: the Lake Placid Classic Half Marathon & 10K, which sends runners through the Adirondacks at the moment the mountains are at full color. It's the kind of race where the views compete with the clock.
