Courses de 5K près de Queensbury

The Malta 2K, 3K, and 5K Trail Race begins near the soccer fields at Luther Forest Athletic Field in Malta, New York, leading runners into the 100 Acre Woods. This local trail event offers short 2K and 3K races preceding the 5K, accommodating children, families, hikers, less experienced runners, and regular trail runners within the same morning. The course follows trails maintained by volunteers, primarily on a six-foot-wide stone-dust path with some softer sections further into the woods. The Roundabout Runners Club organizes the race, with all proceeds supporting supplies and maintenance for the local trail network. Each finisher receives a medal, the 5K awards trophies to the top three overall male and female participants, and results are published online.

The Cambridge Thanksgiving Turkey Trot 5K begins and ends at the historic Coila Church on State Route 372 in Cambridge, New York. This Thanksgiving morning 5K is open to runners and walkers. Strollers are permitted at the rear, and walkers are welcome provided they complete the course within the event's time limit. The course leads from Coila Church towards the village, proceeds along Old Coila Road, crosses sections of downtown Cambridge, passes the old Cambridge Hotel, and circles back via Main Street. Participants receive snacks, beverages, photographs, and small tokens. Local prizes, sourced from donations, are awarded to the top male and female finishers, with distinct awards for those over 60. Proceeds from the initial four events supported local charities including the Cambridge Food Pantry, Cambridge Valley Rescue Squad, and Cambridge Fuel Fund.

The Glens Falls Gobble Wobble is a Thanksgiving morning 5K in downtown Glens Falls, New York. It starts and finishes at the Open Door Mission on Warren Street, and participants can run, walk, or “wobble,” so the field is built for casual walkers as well as runners. The race is tied directly to the Open Door Mission, with all proceeds supporting its work in the greater Glens Falls region. Donations from the event go toward winter programs for people who are homeless or under-resourced, so the holiday-morning run doubles as a local fundraiser before the rest of the day begins.
