Glens Falls Memorial Day Mile
The Glens Falls Memorial Day Mile is a one-mile road race in Glens Falls, New York, held on Memorial Day before the town parade. It begins on Glen Street in downtown Glens Falls, offering runners a fast, flat, point-to-point mile instead of a longer endurance event. The course follows the parade route down Glen Street toward Crandall Park, with spectators already lining the road as runners pass. Adirondack Runners organizes the race, directing all proceeds to local veterans organizations. The club has supported runners in the Glens Falls and Adirondack region for over 50 years, hosting six races annually and contributing to local nonprofits, youth programs, and club scholarships.
