About the ADK 5k
The course starts and finishes at a brewpub on the edge of Lake George, so you are looking at the water from the moment you arrive. The route takes you along the shore with views across the lake, and the surrounding hills frame it in a way that makes the whole thing feel more like a scenic loop than a race through town.
Bib pickup runs the evening before at the same brewpub, early enough to grab a beer while you are there. On race morning, pickup opens at the start line before the gun. Parking is spread through the village, so you should not have trouble finding a spot. A food truck is on site after the race, and the brewery itself is open.
