Lake Placid Trail Challenge - Mt. Van Hoevenberg
The Lake Placid Trail Challenge takes place on August 8, 2026, at Mt. Van Hoevenberg, 31 Van Hoevenberg Way, Lake Placid, NY. The event is presented as part of the Spartan Trail series.
The venue is a large nordic ski center that hosted events for the 1980 Winter Olympics. The course uses a mix of trail types, including single track, double track, flat sections, steep climbs, and flowy terrain. Races start and finish in the stadium at the center of the complex. The route passes through dense forest, climbs to the top of a bobsled track and continues beyond; the summit provides views before a long descent back to the finish.
Race options listed for the day include:
- Trail 50K
- Trail Half Marathon
- Trail 10K
- Spectator access
