About the 2 PARKS TRAIL HALF MARATHON AND 5K

The course runs through two parks on a mix of singletrack mountain bike trails, wide dirt paths, and a stretch of dirt road that connects Addison Oaks to Bald Mountain. The terrain is rooty and varied, worth paying attention to underfoot. Runners cross Lake George Road between the parks, so watch for traffic at that crossing.

Packet pickup happens race morning inside the Lake Lodge building at the start and finish area. Parking at Addison Oaks is free. The race runs cupless, so you carry a reusable cup through the aid stations. After finishing, there is food at the post-race party.

Common Questions About the 2 PARKS TRAIL HALF MARATHON AND 5K

Will I finish last at the 2 PARKS TRAIL HALF MARATHON AND 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 9.3 Miles field finished slower than 1:35:33, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:48:34, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 2 PARKS TRAIL HALF MARATHON AND 5K a good first 9.3 Miles?

It is a small race (86 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 9.3 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 2 PARKS TRAIL HALF MARATHON AND 5K?

The 9.3 Miles winner ran 59:27 while the median finisher took 1:35:33. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
