About the Mike Nolan 5K
The Mike Nolan 5K runs out of South Glens Falls High School, so the start area has real infrastructure behind it: a gymnasium for registration, parking on school grounds, and space for a kids obstacle course running alongside the main event. The course itself is not described in detail, but the school setting gives the morning a familiar, neighborhood-meet feel.
Registration opens in the gymnasium before the gun, which keeps things warm and organized on a cool fall morning. There is a kids fun run and obstacle course starting before the main wave, so families with younger children have something to do early. Awards cover both student and adult categories, which reflects the school-community spirit at the center of the race.
