Join us for the legendary Doc Lopez Run for Health on Sunday, April 28, 2024. Take in breathtaking views as you run for a good cause. Enjoy breathtaking views along the challenging half marathon route from Keene Valley, up over Spruce Hill and into Elizabethtown, New York. Buses leave Elizabethtown at 8:30 for an 8:50 arrival in Keene Valley. The course is open until the last participant crosses the finish. The 5K trail loop behind the Cobble Hill Golf Course starts on a short stretch of paved pathway before entering trails in the woods. The route is hilly and offers rewarding views. There will be signage and volunteers along the route to assist with wayfinding and water at mile 2 of the course. Like any trail, there are obstacles like mud, rocks and roots. So please be prepared to slow down and “enjoy the ride.”

This is a family friendly event, but no pets!
