Lake City Running Festival offers a high-quality race with a small-town vibe. The races are only a small portion of this event, join after you run for live music, food, drinks, raffles, and awards.
The half marathon course was designed with YOU, the runner, in mind. Starting right on the shore of Lake Champlain at the Plattsburgh City Beach, runners will wind though the east side of Plattsburgh, hugging the lake the entire time. Passing right under the nose of the MacDonough Monument, this course has views for days!
Starting at the Plattsburgh City Beach, the 5K course takes you along the gorgeous Beach Bike Path and along the shores of Lake Champlain. With a simple turn around point located on Cumberland Ave, runners will then retrace their steps back to the beach and wind through the same bike path.
Following the same route as the 5K and Half Marathon, 10K runners will continue along the course, past the 5K turn and turn around just past the historical Plattsburgh Train Station. Runners will be treated to lake views throughout their run and get access to 4 aid station stops!

This is the third time I’ve run this race and its slowly becoming more and more popular. I think this was my slowest effort and unfortunately, the Winter months here were pretty brutal and I didn’t train as much in the past. But the Medal this year was very cool, and lots of swag with shirts, glasses, stickers as well as food, beverages and live music at the finish line. Half marathon and 5K also took place. Weather this year was perfect. Good warmup race since I run in Lake Placid, NY three weeks later. I’ll be back next year!
Second year in a row! Nice Race.

I really like this race and course. The volunteers were super nice. Nice swag and finishing medal. Weather was cold and rainy this year. If I had to critique one thing, I wish the 5K and 10K started at different times. The half marathon started at 8:30 and the other two races started at 9. Traffic got a little congested once the 5K runners turned around at their halfway point. We just had to dodge runners running towards you! I didn’t remember the congestion last year because I think there were two different starting times. But besides that, everything went well. Easy check-in and great communication overall.
An Enjoyable Day on Lake Champlain

This was the second year of the Lake City Running Festival and I ran the 10K. A half marathon and a 5K was also held. I did get a personal best in this event. Course is very flat overall. I thought the event was very well run. Check-in was easy the night before. Nice crowd support. The volunteers were friendly providing beverages along the way. They had live music after the event. Lots of family involvement. Beautiful weather for this event this year. Very nice medal as well. Definitely recommend!
