Course & Travel Notes

The 45th Annual Alplaus Runaround takes place at a modest elevation of 266 feet, which means runners won't need to adjust pacing for significant altitude effects. With sunrise at 7:28 AM and a 10:00 AM start time, you'll have good daylight throughout the race. Plan for typical late October conditions in upstate New York, with highs around 62°F and lows near 41°F, plus about a one-in-three chance of rain on race day. Schenectady County Airport is conveniently located just 1.5 miles from the venue, making it the nearest air travel option for visitors.
