Overview
Lake Placid Trail Challenge
Spartan Trail is taking over Mt Van Hoevenberg for an epic trail running event through one of the Northeast’s most iconic winter sports venues. Known for its Olympic history and extensive Nordic trail network, Mt Van Hoevenberg offers a challenging mix of single track, double track, flat, steep, and flowy terrain.
Racers will start and finish in the stadium at the heart of the complex—site of the 1980 Olympic cross-country events. From there, you’ll charge through dense forest, grind up steep climbs, and summit near the top of a legendary bobsled track. Expect epic views at the top—and a quad-burning descent to the finish line.
Choose your challenge: 10K, Half Marathon, or 50K. Everything you need to know is in the Runner Guide. Be sure to read it before race day! Please not that this even is being hosted by Spartan Trail and not the Olympic Authority.
