The Lake Placid Classic returns on Saturday, Oct. 11 at the Lake Placid Show Grounds. Now in its 54th year, the race continues its tradition of bringing runners together from near and far for an event that is 100 percent non-profit and community driven. New this year, the Lake Placid Classic will offer a 5K race, joining the long-standing half marathon and 10K events. All proceeds directly benefit youth programming in the region, as well as Adirondack Health’s Fit for Life and Medical Fitness Scholarship Fund.
