Also, on Sunday, May 26, it’s the Saratoga Memorial 5K & Duathlon, staged at the Saratoga Casino Hotel in Saratoga Springs. The 5K is a relatively flat course perfect for individuals and families. Compete for top honors in your age group or just start your day with casual run or walk for a good cause. The race is a fundraising event for the Saratoga Springs Lions Club. What began as a fundraising idea to help participants train for triathlon races, the Memorial Duathlon & 5K has evolved from a road race into a community event that brings families, friends and businesses together for a challenging and fun athletic event while acknowledging our fallen troops and veteran population. The duathlon is a three-stage race with a 5K run, followed by a 30K bike, and an additional 5K run. While the race draws top level competitors, the course is designed to allow for many levels of participation. One can compete as an individual or part of a two- or three-person team. Register: thememorialduathlon5k.com. Finally, the Vermont City Marathon & Relay, also on Sunday, May 26, is a flat, fast course that winds through Burlington and along Lake Champlain.

The course is a double loop which starts and finishes in Waterfront Park. Run the full marathon or gather a team for the two-, three- or five-person relays. Register: runvermont.org. Whether you’re fast or slow, competitive or recreational, there’s something for everyone. With so many great races and a variety of distances and locales to choose from, you’ll have a busy racing season!
