Among the many activities planned for the Adirondack Christmas on Main Street event in Old Forge—which this year covers two weekends—will be a “Let it Snow” 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, December 2.
The run/walk will begin at 9 a.m. at Point Park in the center of town and will take participants down the decorated Main Street, through the back roads of Thendara and back.
The flat course will appeal to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities—especially if there is snow on the course.
Participants are encouraged to come dressed in holiday attire and along with prizes awarded to the top three male and female winners in each age category, there will be a top prize for the individual wearing the best holiday costume.
The first 100 registrants will receive a long sleeve t-shirt bearing the “Let it Snow” logo, and everyone can enjoy post-race refreshments at Point Park and half-off admission to the Holiday Brunch at the Masonic Lodge.
Registration is available online at: www.active.com or download a registration form at www.ADKChristmasOnMain.com. The fee is $20 through November 25, and $25 thereafter.
Christmas on Main Street festivities will be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday, November 23, 24, and 25 and Saturday and Sunday, December 1 and 2.
Events include the Adirondack Scenic Railroad’s Santa Express Trains, horse-drawn wagon rides, visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, face painting, a parade, tree lighting and holiday shopping at the area’s many unique shops.
