STAY 

Late September is a fantastic time to visit the Lake 

Placid region. Fall foliage is expected to be peak, 

bugs are all but gone, and temperatures are ideal 

for high-adrenaline adventure. There are many 

campgrounds in the area, including a limited 

number of van camping sites are available at the 

Lake Placid Airport, New York State DEC Campgrounds 

and Private Campgrounds plus lodging 

properties for all preferences including many in the 

heart of Lake Placid’s vibrant downtown scene. 

RIDE 

The area has several fantastic mountain biking trail 

networks! The following have been hand-picked by 

our local mountain bike community as must-rides 

while you are here for the UCI Mountain Bike 

World Series: Mt. Pisgah, Craig Wood Trails, Hardy 

Road, East Branch Community Trails, Blueberry Hill 

Trails. 

GET LOUD! 

The courses are designed to give spectators prime 

views along most of the route. Racers feed off a 

rowdy crowd, so let’s show what Lake Placid can 

do. Bring pots, pans, air horns, bagpipes—whatever 

you can find to make noise (chainsaws are a thing, 

but remove the arm and blade!). It's all fair game 

and adds to the atmosphere. Bring your friends 

and GET LOUD!

us to do good, from our homes and out in the community. 

Out of change and challenges, comes a new positive perspective around 

the globe. We are ALL one. It’s encouraging to see more diverse people interacting, 

socializing together in groups and clubs, thanking essential workers, 

and getting outside to enjoy nature and exercise.

NY Bike Summit: Paving the 

Way for NYS Cycling 

ALBANY – The New York Bicycling Coalition’s 2024 New York Bike 

Summit is scheduled for Thursday-Friday, October 17-18 at the Albany 

Capital Center. This event will bring together everyday bike riders, 

cycling advocates, and state and local leaders to discuss and promote 

bicycling initiatives across the state. Highlighted speakers include, Wes 

Marshall, author of Killed by a Traffic Engineer: Shattering the Delusion 

that Science Underlies our Transportation System; NYS Assembly member 

Patricia Fahy on leveraging cycling to drive NY’s economic future; 

Amelia Neptune from the League of American Bicyclists bringing news 

from across Bicycle Friendly America. 

The summit will be filled with two full days of sessions, networking, 

and community building events, plus group bike rides on Friday afternoon 

offered by the Albany Bicycle Coalition in memory of Lou Rossi 

who was instrumental in the development of New York’s bike route 

system, and an important founding member of NYBC. 

Anyone who rides a bike will enjoy the opportunity to have a direct 

influence on the future of New York’s transportation system. Members 

of the team spearheading the NYS Active Transportation Strategic Plan 

initiative will be at the Bike Summit to hear directly from attendees. 

Session speakers include Maddy Novich, the CargoBikeMomma, who 

will offer her expert tips on how to leverage social media for local organizations 

and advocacy, and NYBC board member and bike lawyer Dan 

Flanzig will offer “Fundamentals of NYS Bike Law in the Age of Micro- 

Mobility.” This session is open to all and is approved for one NYS CLE 

credit. Municipal leaders will want to attend the Strive for 25 session to 

gain practical knowledge about how cities, villages, and certain towns 

can utilize the 2022 law that gives them the authority to lower speed 

limits to 25 mph. Learn more: nybc.net. 

Upstate Paddling 

Highlights 

SARANAC LAKE – Organized by the Northern 

Forest Canoe Trail, the Adirondack Canoe 

Classic, also known as the 90-Miler, is an 

Adirondack tradition dating back over four 

decades. This year’s annual event took place 

on September 6-8, from Old Forge to Saranac 

Lake, the first 90 miles of the Northern Forest 

Canoe Trail. Even though severe weather cut 

this year’s 90-Miler short at approximately 70 

miles, paddlers were able to compete for the 

first two days. The community, staff, volunteers, 

sponsors, racers and spectators make 

ADK CANOE CLASSIC. 

MATTHEW STRICKLAND 

ONE SQUARE MILE OF HOPE. 

KURT GARDNER PHOTOGRAPHY 

this a truly one-of-a-kind tradition. Race results are available online: northernforestcanoetrail.org. 

INLET – One Square Mile of Hope took place on Saturday, September 14 at Arrowhead Park 

on Fourth Lake in Inlet with more than 2,000 paddlers in canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and guideboats. 

The event was a benefit for the Golisano Children’s Hospital and an attempt to break the world 

record for most paddle craft. While the event fell short of breaking their own Guinness World 

Record, which was set in 2014 with 3,150 paddlers, attendees had fun and raised thousands of 

dollars for a great cause. More info: onesquaremileofhope.org. 

WATERFORD – The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor hosted its inaugural multiday 

paddling trip, Paddle the Canals: Mohawk River Expedition on Friday-Sunday, September 

13-15 from Canajoharie to Schenectady. Forty paddlers participated in this three-day, two-night 

trip covering 10-15 miles per day for a total of 40 miles. Paddlers transited six locks, camped 

at Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site with special permission, and enjoyed the beautiful 

Mohawk Valley and historic Erie Canal. The expedition on the Mohawk River and Erie Canal 

kicks off the Erie Canal’s Bicentennial Celebrations in 2025. Learn more about this trip and the 

bicentennial: eriecanalway.org. 

Seven National Titles 

over Two Weeks in July 

DELMAR – In a whirlwind of USA Cycling National 

Championship races, Lilli O’Donnell won Mountain Bike, 

Time Trial and Road titles with a silver in Criterium by inches 

for junior women 13-14. Her brother Chase O’Donnell won 

Mountain Bike, Time Trial, Road and Criterium for a sweep of 

all the junior men 11-12 races. Chase is currently the National 

title holder for every discipline he races including cyclocross. 

According to their dad, Ryan, “They put in hard work to prepare 

for these events. As thrilled as my wife and I are about the wins, 

seeing the kids learn how to set goals and work hard to reach 

them is the best. They’re focused, determined and committed 

to their training, and they LOVE just about every minute of it. 

It’s so much fun to share the passion with them.” 

Andy Ruiz of Capital Bicycle Racing Club is their coach but 

also a lot more. Ryan continues, “Andy lives near us, regularly 

takes them out on rides, checks in frequently, and travels with 

us to just about every race, and his response is some variation 

of, “Oh wow that’s incredible!” He’s more of a family member 

than anything else, his passion for racing is contagious, and 

is a master at building training plans – prepping them for a 

mountain bike championships followed by three different road 

championships the following week was no easy task!” 

Emma White, a local Olympic medalist and youngest 

woman to ever win an elite criterium national title, talks with 

Lilli at least once a week. According to Ryan, “Emma helps 

her visualize success, confront insecurities, build confidence, 

holds her accountable to her goals, and reviews courses and 

builds race strategy. Seeing Emma do her thing has also taught 

me how to better communicate with the kids about their goals 

and ambitions.”

Fall Rides for All

Remember the days (if you’re old enough) when 

you used to use a paper calendar or planner? Or, if 

you’re our publisher/editor, you still do! It seemed 

like the pages turned or the leaves flew off that little desktop 

calendar twice as fast when summer arrived. Before 

you knew it, the real-life leaves were flying off the trees 

and another summer of cycling had disappeared. 

Now even in the digital age, the warm months seem 

to fly by as you ride with your friends in the beauty of 

Upstate New York. But autumn brings its own rewards. 

Vibrant colors burst out. Your fitness is at its peak so you 

can ride longer and enjoy the season. Plus, there are stops 

at local orchards and farmstands with hot drinks, fresh 

ripe apples and... cider donuts! 

Our region also offers a bumper fall crop of organized 

cycling events for all riding ages and abilities. You can 

pedal routes planned for their beauty while spending 

time in the saddle with old friends and making new ones. 

Here’s a roundup of some magnificent events to mark on 

your calendar – digital or paper. 

September 15: Saratoga Trail Festival in Saratoga 

County presented by the Saratoga Trails Alliance – This 

inaugural gathering offers free guided trail adventures from 

for bike rides, hiking, kayak, and equestrian riding across 

Saratoga County Trails, and an after party at Glenham Farm 

in Saratoga Springs. Info: saratogatrails.org. 

September 29: Fall Foliage Ride in Broadalbin by the 

Mohawk Hudson Cycling Club – The fall event season kicks 

off with a new ride from the area’s largest cycling club. 

Riding from the Great Sacandaga Brewing Company with 

road routes of 20, 42, and 73 miles, it takes in the beautiful 

scenery and fall foliage around the Great Sacandaga Lake 

in the foothills of the Adirondacks. The brewery will be 

open after the ride and plans include available food. If you 

have never ridden with MHCC before, then you get one 

free ride as a guest without joining. You would just need 

to sign a waiver form at the start of the ride. Otherwise, 

you will need to become a club member to participate. 

Membership dues are only $20 a year and you can easily 

join online: mohawkhudsoncyclingclub.org. 

October 5: Cross Mountain Crusher Gravel Grinder 

in Arkville presented by the Catskill Recreation Center and 

Overlook Bicycles – The annual Crusher has made some 

route changes this year to add more gravel miles to the 

ride that take you on some challenging climbs deep in the 

Catskills including 40-mile Crusher Lite, 55-mile Crusher 

(original), and 62-mile Super Crusher. The start/finish is 

at the Catskill Recreation Center in Arkville, which offers 

full locker room and shower facilities, plus post-ride food

November 3: Gravel Goblin Gravel Grinder in 

Nassau is hosted by Mohawk Hudson Cycling Club – The 

fall cycling event season closes out with a 

bang – or should that be a scream? – with 

this Halloween-themed event that raises 

funds for Regional Food Bank. Gorge on all 

that Halloween candy, then come out and 

work off all those calories riding the routes 

of 30, 41, or 54 miles on the beautiful roads 

of northern Columbia County, out of the S&S 

Farm Brewery in Nassau. Participants will also 

have a special opportunity to meet and ride 

with former professional cyclist, Olympian, 

and World Tour winner Megan Guarnier. 

Megan, who grew up in Glens Falls, races professionally 

between 2010-2018 and accumulated 

three national titles while riding for Team Tibco, 

Rabobank, and Boels-Dolmans. 

All Gravel Goblin registration fees benefit the 

Food Bank, and MHCC will be collecting additional monetary 

donations and gathering donated non-perishable 

food items on event day. What started out in 2018 with 75 

riders as the Gravel Gobbler Thanksgiving Ride, developed 

by MHCC club member Chet Lasell, has morphed into the 

Goblin – held several weeks earlier. Last year the Gravel 

Goblin attracted over 200 riders and raised $10,000 for the 

Food Bank, and since 2018 the event has raised $40,000 to 

support the Food Bank distribute items to charitable agencies 

serving hungry and disadvantaged people in 23 counties. 

From Plattsburgh to Newburgh, in urban, rural and 

suburban areas, they provide 55 million pounds of food a 

year to 1,000 agencies. Visit: bikereg.com.

By Rich Macha 

In most years, you can find peak fall 

foliage in the higher elevations of 

the Adirondack Park around the 

end of September and in early October. 

By Indigenous Peoples’/Columbus Day 

weekend, the bright red and orange leaves 

of the red and sugar maple trees will likely 

have dropped to the ground, but the yellows 

of the birches and the golds of the 

beeches may still be evident. Thanks to 

climate change, in recent years the best 

colors have been persisting through to the 

holiday which falls on October 14 this year 

– perhaps a little bit late for peak in higher 

elevations in the Adirondacks. After that 

date, the colors should pop in the lowlands 

and the Hudson River Valley. 

Although there are a multitude of 

great paddling spots in the northern and 

western parts of the Adirondacks, for this 

article I will limit the choices to the areas 

south and east of Indian Lake and add 

some choices outside the Adirondack 

Park that are easily accessible from the 

greater Capital-Saratoga Region. 

Fourteen-mile-long Indian Lake is a 

large body of water with majestic mountain 

views – Snowy Mountain towers over 

2,000 feet above the lake. By late summer, 

the water is drawn down a few feet to 

reveal a sandy and rocky shoreline where 

you will find many places to stop for a 

scenic picnic lunch, go for a late-season 

swim, or just hang out for a while. Many 

islands add to the interest. 

On the other side of NY Route 30, you 

find Lewey Lake State Campground (open 

until October 14) and its namesake lake. 

Lewey Lake is only 1.25 miles long, but 

you can also paddle up its inlet, the Miami 

River, which is navigable for a few miles if 

you don’t mind getting out and pulling over 

the occasional beaver dam. The view of the 

mountains to the north is outstanding. 

East of the Northway and Schroon 

Lake, lying at the edge of the Pharaoh Lake 

Wilderness south of NY Route 74, you find 

Putnam Pond. A state campground (open 

until October 14 this year) is located on its 

east shore, but the rest of this large pond 

is wild. A paddle around its perimeter will 

add to about five miles. This is a wonderful 

place to combine a paddle with a hike. 

Easy to moderate hikes from the pond 

lead to Rock Pond, Clear Pond, Treadway 

Mountain, and Grizzle Ocean. 

The two-mile-long Thirteenth Lake in 

North River is on the edge of the Siamese 

Ponds Wilderness and offers several 

primitive campsites and mountain views. 

Paddlers do have to carry or wheel their 

watercraft 150 yards from the parking area 

to the water – however, the trail is wide and 

smooth. This is another beautiful place to 

combine a paddle with a hike – destinations 

include Balm Of Gilead Mountain, 

Hour Pond, and Peaked Mountain. 

Garnet Lake lies hidden south of NY 

Route 8 in Johnsburg. A dirt road along 

its east side leads to a small parking area 

and a sandy beach from which to launch. 

There are some private camps on this 

small lake’s northern half, but the southern 

half is quite wild. A large part of the 

southeastern bay is a “stump city” that

THIRTEENTH LAKE. ▶ 

▲ ELM LAKE ON THE 

KUNJAMUK RIVER. 

harbors a lot of wildlife. Mount Blue and 

Crane Mountain can be seen from the 

water. The photographer should have a 

field day here. 

An excellent choice for a downriver 

float trip is the Hudson River from 

Thurman Station to the Hadley-Luzerne 

area. Some quickwater and riffles are 

experienced along this 14.5-mile route. 

Hills rise steeply on both sides of the river 

and should flash a fair amount of color in 

mid-October. The Hudson River Special 

Management Area is passed halfway 

through the trip, and you will find places 

to stop for a break. The next section of the 

river is popular for its tubing in summer. 

The put-in is located at the northwest end 

of the NY Route 418 bridge. The take-out 

is either at a county canoe access on River 

Road in Lake Luzerne or across the river 

at the Hadley Canoe Take-Out Park – note 

that both are a touch on the steep side. I 

have found that water level readings of 

three to four feet on the Hadley or North 

Creek gauges are ideal. 

Most of the time, I would hesitate to 

wholeheartedly recommend Lake George 

to the average recreational paddler due 

to its motorboat activity, but things quiet 

down in October and the views are always 

gorgeous. The Northwest Bay Brook, however, 

can be a very pleasant paddle at any 

time, albeit a bit on the short side. There is 

a DEC launch on NY Route 9N a few miles 

north of Bolton Landing. Don’t forget 

to check out the backwater to the northeast. 

Better paddlers can go out into the 

ever-widening Northwest Bay and head 

over to Montcalm Point and The Narrows. 

The Kunjamuk River in Speculator 

is often mentioned by many paddlers as 

their favorite Adirondack stream. The 

usual trip starts on the Sacandaga River 

and then turns up the Kunjamuk at 

Kunjamuk Bay. Typically, two to four beaver 

dams are encountered that need to be 

lifted over on the way to Elm Lake. More 

adventurous paddlers can explore further 

upstream – last year, I found only two beaver 

dams between Elm Lake and the Long 

Level Bridge. Above the Long Level Bridge, 

more beaver dams and obstructions can 

be expected, but the stream is beautiful. 

The West Branch of the Sacandaga 

River roughly parallels NY Route 10 south 

of Piseco. An eight-mile (or more if you 

take side-trips into adjacent ponds) oneway 

trip can be accomplished by putting 

in at the bridge near Good Luck Lake and 

paddling downstream with a light current 

to just before Shaker Place – the car shuttle 

between the two is 6.5 miles. You can also 

do an up-and-back trip from Shaker Place 

and turn around whenever you please. 

I wrote about the Hudson River above 

and below the Spier Falls Dam in Moreau 

in the June 2024 issue of Adirondack 

Sports. With a variety of deciduous trees 

on the steep hillsides on both sides of the 

river, the leaf-peeping should be stunning 

throughout the whole month of October. 

In Rensselaer County, Grafton Lakes 

State Park contains four ponds north of 

NY Route 2 and one reservoir south of 

Route 2 that are worth a paddle. Note that 

elevations here are above 1,500 feet and 

the best fall foliage appears earlier than at 

lower elevations in the Capital Region – so, 

if the foliage in Albany is peaking, it will be 

past peak at Grafton. Dunham Reservoir 

and Long Pond are the two waterbodies 

with the most interest to paddlers. Many 

years ago, I paddled all four ponds north 

of Route 2 – Mill, Second, Long, and 

Shaver – in a poor man’s attempt at a Saint 

Regis Canoe Area-style pond-bagging trip 

with portages between the ponds. 

The tidal Hudson River south of 

Albany offers a variety of inlets, coves, and 

marshes to investigate. You will find much 

to explore if you launch from Bethlehem, 

Coeymans, Coxsackie, or Athens on the 

river’s west shore, or from Stockport on 

the east shore. While the waterbodies 

mentioned above are at their showy best 

when maples are at their peak, this part 

of the Hudson reveals itself in the variety 

of hues exhibited by oak trees – shades of 

reds to shades of gold and bronze – perhaps 

a little subtler than those show-off 

maples, but very attractive, nonetheless. 

For safety, be sure to wear a PFD and 

carry a white light and whistle. The fall 

foliage will be over before you know it, so 

make a point of getting out on the water 

and enjoy the foliage while the water and 

air are still relatively warm.

◀ LAKE GEORGE LAND CONSERVANCY’S AMY’S 

RACE IS A RUGGED TRAIL RACE THROUGH THE 

BEAUTIFUL, RUGGED LANDSCAPE OF AMY’S 

PARK IN BOLTON LANDING. 

By Laura Clark 

Kick Up 

Those Fall Leaves! 

Growing up in Queens, I have fond 

childhood memories of dragging my 

feet in the gutters for the sheer pleasure 

of kicking up piles of leaves. Now I do the 

same on upstate trails, although I must 

admit my more grown-up pleasure is to 

study the mosaic of colorful leaves at my 

feet and vow (yet again) to learn how to 

quilt. This childlike joy translates to the 

running community where it seems as if 

every weekend offers at least six running 

options. Rather than dashing like a mad 

hatter from one to the other, use these 

listings to select your races thoughtfully 

according to your personal game plan. 

Seeking to up your mileage or turn in a 

decent 5K in crisp, clear weather? Want 

to try a new, pre-marked trail in the 

woods? Want to do all of this and support 

meaningful charities? Whatever. 

Just make sure to include a few fun 

low-key events where you can join with 

friends and family. 

Protect your waterways by registering 

for the 8th annual Amy’s Adventure 

Race on Saturday, October 5 at Amy’s 

Park, a vital wetland area of the Lake 

George Watershed. Organized by the 

Lake George Land Conservancy’s Next 

Gen Committee, proceeds will be funneled 

directly into their Indian Brook & 

Northwest Bay Conservation Initiative 

which helps with the effort to filter pol- 

lutants out of the water before it reaches 

Lake George. The committee encourages 

you to “embrace the mud” and tackle 

the challenging, rocky terrain. You will be 

rewarded by breathtaking views and stunning 

lake foliage. 

For the first time, this year there will 

be a 10-mile option, which will consist of 

two 5-mile loops, almost identical to the 

original 4.5 with a bit extra added. The 

4.5 route, while technical, is imminently 

doable and has hosted ages ranging from 

8 to 75 (me). In fact, I remember one mom 

giving her son a scolding because he forgot 

his sneakers. He ran in his flip-flops 

and did just fine. Probably because he 

was too young to know better! For me, the 

greatest hazard is the twisty nature of the 

course, so remember to glance up occasionally, 

enjoy the foliage, and pinpoint 

a marker ahead. Afterwards, all are invited 

to a party at Bolton Landing Brewing 

where there will be beer, a raffle and perhaps 

a few local ghost stories. Visit: lglc. 

org/amys-race. 

On Saturday, October 5, join the 4th 

annual Michael J. Pitney Farm Run 5K 

and Youth Fun Run at Pitney Meadows 

Community Farm in Saratoga Springs. 

Proceeds from the event will support 

the farm’s mission and programming. 

The races take place alongside the 

Saratoga XC Invitational Meet, with the 

Community Races kicking off before the 

high school events. 

This special run honors Michael J. 

Pitney, an outdoor enthusiast whose 

legacy lives on through the scenic 1.7- 

mile trail loop at Pitney Meadows, 

where visitors can explore the beauty 

of nature just as Michael did. The 5K 

course winds through Pitney Meadows’ 

open fields, featuring a mix of grass and 

stone dust trails. It’s a mostly flat, easyto-follow 

route with no road crossings, 

making it safe for runners and enjoyable 

for spectators. 

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or 

a family looking for a fun way to enjoy the 

fall weather, the Michael J. Pitney Farm 

Run promises a memorable day for all 

participants. Don’t miss your chance to 

be part of this special event and support a 

vital community resource, celebrating and 

exploring agricultural education, healthy 

food production, and recreation on this 

preserved working farm. Run the trails. 

Feel the breeze. Support the farm. Go to: 

pitneymeadowscommunityfarm.org. 

Despite having accumulated lots 

of “institutional memory” (meaning 

that I have gotten much older), up until 

last year I still had one more running 

goal to accomplish: I had always wanted 

to participate in a round-the-circle 

event. I did have one in Vermont all 

pegged out, but then Covid-19 struck. 

Last year I finally got my chance at the 

Flutters and Foliage Endurance Run 

at Peebles Island State Park in Cohoes, 

that’s on Saturday, October 5. Entrants 

choose between six-, three- and one-hour 

options, with relay possibilities thrown in 

for good measure. To get the most bang 

for my buck, I chose the six-hour opportunity, 

but what I learned was that oddly, 

the experience was the same, yet different, 

for everyone. I got passed by fresh relay 

runners and felt totally justified with my 

slower pace. I got passed multiple times 

by the 21 individuals seeking to log a flat, 

fast 50K for under $100. I got to hike a 

recovery loop with faster runners whom 

I never would have had the opportunity 

to chat with otherwise. There were quite a 

few who hiked a loop or two, then recovered 

at their camp, only to head out a few 

more times. 

Teams could set up along the perimeter 

and oddly, one of the things I amused 

myself with was circling back past the 

camps every two miles and seeing what 

provisions, clothing items had been consumed 

or shed. That and running past the 

amazing Cohoes waterfalls and breathing 

in the revitalizing oxygenated air. Sara 

King, of iRun LOCAL, ran the inaugural 

last year with many questions: “Could I do 

it, actually run for six hours? What would it 

feel like? What would I need to keep going? 

What would I do if I got tired? How would 

I manage discomfort? Could I get over a 

marathon distance in the time allowed?” 

And this time around, the Saratoga running 

store is a major sponsor, citing the fact 

that there is no other nearby event quite 

so inclusive. “There are no awards for first, 

second or third place. There IS a group of 

people celebrating every lap you do whether 

it is two or 20. When you run this event, 

you run for you and no one else.” Proceeds 

benefit Flutters of Hope, which aims to 

increase awareness of eating disorders 

and offer support for those battling that 

disease. Visit: ultrasignup.com. 

When is a road race not really a road 

race? When it is the Mohawk Hudson 

River Marathon & Half Marathon on 

Sunday, October 13, where much of the 

action takes place on the shaded bike path 

along the paved Mohawk-Hudson Bike- 

Hike Trail, the original highway of the 

Mohawks and the early colonizers. Long 

recognized as a flat, fast course, perfect 

for a personal best or a Boston Marathon 

qualifier, it is also prime real estate for

RUNNING continued from 19 

first-time marathoners and those who 

seek the distraction of colorful fall foliage 

and crisp running temperatures. While 

both point-to-point routes involve carefully 

considered logistical planning, the 

Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club’s 

website gurus have you covered from bus 

routes, parking directions and complete 

YouTube course previews. 

If you are like me, it is always reassuring 

to be able to recognize landmarks 

along the way, especially when I tend to 

miss the mile markers. If you would like to 

“leave the driving to us,” the marathon has 

pacers beginning at 3:25 and continuing 

in 10-minute increments to 4:20: marathonpacing.com. 

Stick with your designated 

group to reach your goal time and 

meet some new friends. 

Behind every marathoner or half 

marathoner there is a team who is there 

to babysit, supply nourishing meals, 

commiserate and otherwise pick up the 

slack. Make them part of your day too, 

by encouraging them to come and cheer 

you along to the finish with the website’s 

Spectator’s Guide, detailing all the spots 

along the way where you can cheer your 

runner and perhaps supply a special 

drink, a dry shirt. Additionally, there are 

timing mats at designated spots along the 

route enabling you to track your runner’s 

progress by entering her bib number. 

While all of this requires a bit more effort 

than just “jump out of bed and run,” it 

works seamlessly to provide a memorable 

experience. Go to: mohawkhudsonmarathon.com. 

On Sunday, October 20 the 

Roundabout Runners invite us to journey 

to Christopher Robin’s 100 Acre Woods 

and search for Eeyore’s house at the Malta 

5K Trail Run/Hike & 3K/2K Kids’ Trail 

Run. It is truly inspirational to see a crowd 

of excited kids ready to race either the 2K 

or 3K with their parents cheering them on 

and then to reverse the process and see 

the kids applauding their parents as they 

cross the finish of the 5K. The hilly route 

is a mix of wide stone dust covered trails 

and twisty dirt paths, built and meticulously 

maintained by this family-oriented 

club, with all proceeds supporting trail 

design and maintenance. Their pride in 

their work is obvious and fall cross country 

teams benefit from their commitment. 

Visit: roundaboutrunners.com. 

If you are a snowshoer or Nordic 

skier, do register for the seventh annual 

Brookhaven Oktoberfest 5K Trail 

Run on Sunday, October 20 held at 

the Brookhaven Golf Course in Porter 

Corners. While there is no snow expected 

what you may not be aware of is that 

Brookhaven Golf Course transforms itself 

into Brookhaven Winter Park once the 

snow flies with FREE groomed ski trails 

and wooded snowshoe treks. This trail 

race supports the Town of Greenfield’s 

efforts to purchase groomers, maintain 

and expand trails and support high school 

and citizen races. Trail runners will kick 

up leaves on a combination of paths, 

wooded trails and roads winding around 

and through the course, and 5Kers are 

encouraged to stick around to cheer the 

Kids 1K Fun Run. And this is definitely a 

family event, as the races will be followed 

by the Town of Greenfield’s Fall Festival at 

1pm with trick or treating (think decorated 

golf cart stations), a live animal show, 

indoor and outdoor food options, live 

music, sack races and, of course, pumpkin 

contests. Go to: skireg.com. 

If snow is coming, can Christmas be far 

behind? Head on out to Veeder Tree Farm 

in Earlton for their 13th annual Veeder 

Tree Farm 5K on Sunday, October 20. 

This is probably one of the most unique 

race formats you will ever encounter. 

While a few events, notably Salem’s April 

Fool’s Race, offer consecutive races which 

can be run back-to-back on pretty much 

the same course, Veeder invites you to 

register singly for either a road or trail 5K 

or, new this year, a beastly combo! The trail 

is a two-loop challenging route through 

the backwoods of the tree farm, with the 

guaranteed scent of pine needles enhancing 

your journey. Afterwards, take the 

family and hike the farm, imagining your

knowing that your participation will 

benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma 

Society. Visit: raceentry.com. 

And so… back to the almost-present 

with the Pumpkin and Halloween themed 

races. It seems like every year the seasons 

and weather get more mixed up and I 

guess I am not helping by embracing our 

new reality. Join the Adirondack Runners 

for their 31st annual Goblin Gallop 5K at 

the Abraham Wing School on Saturday, 

October 26. The 5K is a two-loop fast 

route circling downtown Glens Falls – “so 

fast it’s scary!” For me, the highlight has 

always been watching the Free Halloween 

Hop 1K for kids 12 and under. Children 

proudly wear their prettiest or scariest 

costume and feel like they are in a parade. 

Every kid receives a Halloween treat bag. 

This Goblin is the prime fundraiser for 

the Adirondack Runners and the Nepal 

Village School Project, which has already 

financed a new regional secondary school 

in Nepal. Current goals include improved 

sanitation, clean water, a library and 

increased computer and internet access. 

Go to: zippyreg.com. 

You can then double your pumpkin 

fix by heading over to Washington Park 

for Albany’s Trick or Trot Pumpkin Run 

5K which begins at the spooking hour 

of 4:30pm. Walk or run through a family-friendly 

Halloween decorated route. 

Take as much time as you would like, 


stopping to take selfies along the way. 

Children under 10 will automatically 

receive a $5 discount and a shirt while 

kids 5-under can register for a free kids’ 

option. Join the afterparty event featuring 

giveaways, vendors, decorations and 

music. And wear your costume! There 

will be prizes for best adult costume, best 

duo costume and best kids’ costume. Bear 

in mind that there will be a few days left 

before Halloween, so snap some ideas 

you might want to experiment with. Visit: 

zippyreg.com. 

And now… we close with a gorilla on 

the trail at Hairy Gorilla Half Marathon 

& Squirrelly Six on Sunday, October 27 

at Thatcher State Park near Voorheesville. 

Besides actual costumed gorillas roaming 

the course, hiding behind trees and snagging 

bananas, the conceptional gorilla in 

the field delights in seasoning the often 

muddy course with random weather 

events. While wind and rain are more 

normal, he has been known to throw in 

some surprise snow. Like in 2011, the 

only time the race was cancelled due to 

the park’s insistence. According to ARE’s 

Josh Merlis, “While not ideal weather on 

race day, it actually wasn’t all that horrible.” 

With all the hundreds of decorations 

already in place, wouldn’t it have been 

neat if it could have been a snowshoe 

race? The wild card happened during 

the Covid year of 2020. With no snow in 

Saratoga, but some predicted for Albany, 

I threw in my spikes just in case and was 

forever grateful. With Covid restrictions, 

it took 28 minutes for the staggered start 

to be completed. Luckily, I was placed in 

one of the first groups and so received an 

extra 28 minute reprieve from the cutoff. 

This was the last time I ever made that 

tough cutoff and was extremely grateful 

to the Gorilla. 

Named the “Best costumed trail race” 

in America by Runner’s World, make sure 

you continue that standard by wearing 

your own costume to the party. Kids 

12-under will have their own opportunity 

to dress up for the Half-Miler Gorilla 

Chase Kids Race prior to the main event. 

Enjoy hunting for your own personalized 

gravestone while trying to avoid the scary 

creatures hidden behind trees. More of a 

party and only incidentally a race, it’s a 

time to celebrate the almost-end of the 

running season. Go to: areep.com.

Boyle 

Age: 18

Sports: Swimming, Triathlon 

Hometown: Niskayuna 

Creating Something Beautiful 

By Kristen Hislop 

▲ ELISE, EVAN AND CORINNE. 

▲ 2024 IMLP. 

To graduate from Hamilton College, 

you had to pass a swimming test. 

You also had to give a speech or 

take a public speaking class. I tested out 

of the swim test (since I was on the team) 

but had to take public speaking and it was 

traumatizing. Those are probably two of 

the scariest challenges people face! Some 

mothers put their kids in swim lessons 

and give them the basics. Others like to 

prep their kids for the bigger challenges 

ahead, so they tell their kids they only 

have to swim until they can beat them in 

100 meters (me) or 1650 meters (Cynthia). 

Corinne Boyle’s mom Cynthia swam in 

college and was preparing Corinne for 

greatness. The swimming team started 

in first grade for Corinne and by the time 

she was 13 she didn’t want to quit! Her 

mom had actually said swim until you are 

13 or beat my time of 18:38 in the 1650. 

As a sprinter she was not interested in 

going long, but by 13 had formed some 

fast friendships and a love for the sport. 

Corinne is not someone who sticks 

her toe in the water and just tests. As she 

says, “I’m very competitive so if I’m doing 

something I’m going to put all my effort 

into it.” Go big or go home is an effective 

way to understand Corinne’s outlook. 

Her family went to the USA Cycling 2023 

Road World Championships to watch her 

professional cyclist brother compete in 

the U23 time trial in Glasgow, Scotland. It 

was there that she decided she would do 

something epic – Ironman Lake Placid. “I 

wanted to end my senior year with a bang! 

There were a lot of relatively unrelated 

reasons. One is, I want something to go 

into college with that I can look back on 

and say ‘I did that! I can do hard things! I 

can do this!’ I also wanted to do something 

no one else in my family had done. It’s a 

nice reminder that I am strong and just a 

little bit special.” 

While Corinne had the swimming 

down and plenty of cycling gear (and 

advice) from her brother, the run was all 

new. Before getting started with Ironman 

training, Corinne says “getting myself out 

the door for a long run was hard, but the 

thoughts about quitting during the run 

were the worst. When you start calculating 

different routes that would get you home 

earlier, when you feel blisters forming on 

your feet, when you are putting in max 

effort, but your legs flat out refuse to go 

any faster you then know you’ve entered 

the pain cave. Then the cave starts to seem 

more like a tunnel, and you can see the 

last turn before you’re back home, that 

is a fantastic feeling. Pure relief!” You are 

likely getting the feeling that Corinne is a 

mentally tough athlete. Her club and high 

school coaches would tell her she likes 

pain. She says, “I don’t think that’s true. I 

like working hard. I like that feeling of my 

muscles tearing and growing back stronger 

and more prepared for the next day of 

stress. I like feeling strong.” 

Corinne started her training on August 

17, 2023. As soon as school started, so did 

the high school swim season. That meant 

some two a day workouts at 4,000 yards


▲ IMLP FINISH WITH WRITER/ 

COACH KRISTEN HISLOP. 

each, meets and of course some biking 

and running. Corinne had goals to qualify 

for the high school state championships, 

so she needed to keep her swim performances 

high, but also start building her 

biking and running capabilities. She made 

the states, but that didn’t mean a break. 

Club swimming took center stage as she 

worked towards Region 1s (February) and 

Gold Champs (March). She focused on 

getting comfortable and strong on cycling 

and running. 

This was all during her senior year. 

Now Corinne does say that she had a lighter 

load senior year, but she notes, “I have a 

bunch of processing disorders that make 

me slower than a lot of people in most 

tasks. In fact, I recently found out I’m in 

the third percentile for reading fluency. 

This, along with swimming year-round, 

forced me to learn how to manage my 

time. I would block off time during class, 

at home, or on the weekends to work on 

assignments, and figure out where and 

when I am the most efficient with my 

time. As an eighth grader I had my study 

schedule figured out so high school wasn’t 

much of an adjustment.” Yes, efficient 

with her time and able to balance swimming, 

triathlon training, AP classes and 

the social commitments of a senior. 

Many of us get thrown curveballs in 

life, but with a full plate Corinne was tossed 

a fast ball in May. While out on a group 

training ride with her mom and brother, 

her mom sustained a life-threatening 

injury and spent a couple of weeks in ICU 

and is still recovering. Cynthia completed 

quite a few triathlons before having children 

and has ridden thousands of miles. 

As an experienced rider you still can’t 

always avoid freak accidents. Her helmet 

absolutely saved her life. She’s 

been struggling with memory and 

balance since, while her fractures 

have mostly healed. Of course, 

Corinne and the rest of her family 

were at Cynthia’s bedside just as 

longer mileage was supposed to 

be picking up. 

Corrine managed it like a pro 

as she prioritized family and came 

back to training as much as she 

could. Fellow Ironman Nanette 

Hatch, who did open water swims 

and a Lake Placid course ride with 

Corinne notes, “I am inspired 

by her level of maturity. She was 

committed to training, her studies 

and her family joyfully.” When 

most seniors have serious senioritis 

Corinne was out putting miles 

on the roads. She was evaluating 

her race nutrition needs and staying 

focused on her sleep and recovery. 

Fast forward through prom and graduation 

to July 2024. I couldn’t find Corinne 

before the start of the Ironman Lake Placid 

swim. I was looking for an 18 year old in a 

swim skin (racing swim suit) and she had 

decided on wearing a wetsuit! I checked 

in with Mike Reilly, the voice of Ironman 

– who asked, “Do you have the list of the 

youngest athletes?” Yes, Corinne Boyle was 

the youngest female starter along with a 

boy who was celebrating his 18th birthday 

at the race. Corinne got a prerace shoutout 

from Mike Reilly. I saw her beautiful 

smile heading into the water. As a lifeguard 

for the swim course, I was at the exit, so I 

got to cheer for and hug many swimmers. 

Corinne had started a bit back but passed 

a lot of people on lap one. She says, “The 

swim was really enjoyable. I don’t think 

I’ve ever paced myself that much. The second 

lap I got a little stuck behind the other 

swimmers, but it was all fun.” 

After she headed out on the bike I ran 

into her parents. They still weren’t sure 

about this whole event, especially her 

younger sister Elise, who was realizing 

this was going to be another very long day 

watching a sibling do something epic. 

As those who have done it, you know 

the bike course at Lake Placid is hard. The 

hills are relentless. Talking about those 

hills, Corinne said, “The hardest part was 

the last 10-ish miles of the bike. Those 

last 10 miles felt like two hours! A blister 

formed on the sole of my foot. I bonked 

hard. I had been fueling well but my body 

just refused to put any more effort than 

I was giving. Most of the last 10 miles 

are uphill so that made it not fun. At the 

very end of the bike someone yelled to 

me “Only a marathon left.” I don’t think 

I’ve ever been more irrationally angry at 

someone. He was right, though I was more 

than half way through.” 

I had told Corinne she would toss her 

bike to a volunteer and be happy not to see 

it for a while. She knew the run would be 

tough, but I knew she had the mental fortitude 

to conquer it. She says, “If I hadn’t 

found my running buddy, I definitely 

would have quit.” Probably not, but again, 

as anyone who has tortured themselves 

on that course knows, your new friends 

make it doable. 

Corinne had been chatting with one of 

those new friends on the bike. Both being 

swimmers they commiserated about getting 

passed by a lot of cyclists. “I told him 

that I was going to have to walk most of the 

run. A lady behind me agreed that walking 

was the best course of action, and we jokingly 

agreed to walk it together. Then she 

promptly passed both of us. Later, not far 

into the run, I see the same woman again, 

walking. I start up another conversation 

with her and we chat. We decided that 

we can run the downhills and flats, then 

walk the uphills (luckily for us it’s a hilly 

course). So, we do. She is struggling the 

whole time with back pain and I’m struggling 

with just being a bad runner.” 

When I asked Corinne what surprised 

her most about the day she said, “everyone 

was so kind and supportive. They 

were all excited to meet the crazy teenager 

who wanted to do an Ironman as if they 

weren’t all doing it too!” At 18, I think it is 

extra hard to understand the magnitude 

of finishing an Ironman race. I agree with 

Corinne that “I don’t think it’s really sunk 

in yet. I’m trying very hard not to make 

it my personality, but I do know that it’s 

not something most people will ever do, 

but other people do their own impossible 

challenges. I just chose Ironman as mine.” 

Corinne just started her freshman year 

at RPI in Troy. “I’m majoring in chemical 

engineering, and RPI has a really cool program 

that I’m super interested in. They are 

working on ways to create clean energy 

from photosynthesis in algae and sucking 

up CO2 from the air and water with 

other types of algae. I would really like to 

work on that.” She’s found her crew with 

the Engineers swim team. Their first meet 

will be in October. 

Many athletes are one and done when 

an Ironman is their first triathlon. It is a 

huge commitment and the ‘do not finish’ 

count can be high in races like Lake Placid. 

Corinne finished with a huge smile after 

ringing the first-timer bell on the speedskating 

oval, and hearing Mike Reilly once 

again say her name. She has already asked 

about volunteering at local events while in 

school and says, “I don’t think I’ll do another 

Ironman until I graduate. Maybe that will 

be my graduation gift again. I’ll make it a 

tradition. But I definitely see some sprint 

tris in the near future.” Maybe she can get 

the Engineers swim team all doing triathlons. 

No doubt this student athlete has a 

bright future. And when she wants a break 

from swimming and triathlon, she will likely 

be singing and rowing! 

Often student athletes get very 

focused on their sport and have trouble 

pulling their identity away from one sport. 

Corinne was quick to offer, if swimming 

wasn’t in her life, “I think I’d be a rower. 

Being out on the water is so scenic and 

beautiful. It’s also so fun to work as a team, 

coordinated with three other rowers who 

are as dedicated as you. It’s invigorating, 

you feel so alive. I also love to sing and 

being in choir is a similar feeling to being 

in a boat. Everyone is working together to 

create something beautiful.” 

Corinne is wise beyond her years. It 

is so true that people working together 

create beautiful things. We had a crew 

of athletes training for Ironman – all 

ages, backgrounds and speeds, but this 

group worked together to ensure each 

had a spectacular and beautiful race day. 

Cynthia, Don and Elise were on the course 

at 4am until 16 hours later when Corinne 

crossed the line. With her recovery, 

Cynthia shouldn’t have been out in the 

noise, sun and heat, but there was no way 

she was missing that finish line. As I stood 

with Don near the first-timer bell, we talked 

about his kids. They worked together 

as a family and through a very traumatic 

injury this spring to allow their kids to 

realize greatness. To have the experience 

of working together with others to create 

something beautiful. Elise was done with 

the day long before Corinne finished, but 

she was out there! Currently Elise is trying 

to come up with her epic event that 

will entail her family standing around for 

a solid 16 hours while she does her thing 

– probably not athletic! 

We can all learn from Corinne. 

Embrace your passion, work hard, try 

something new and work with others to 

create something beautiful.

ADIRONDACK DAY HIKES 


s 

The Adirondack Mountain 

Club published “Peaks 

and Ponds: Adirondack 

Day Hikes” by Bobby Clark 

and Cat Hadlow, in April 2022. 

This collection of 37 classic 

and lesser-known day hikes 

celebrated ADK’s 100-year 

anniversary by featuring 

beautiful remote spots 

throughout the park with side 

trips and snippets of history. 

ADK has been working 

to conserve resources, advocate for 

preservation of wild places, and educate people on 

having safe, low-impact outdoor experiences. They focus 

on sharing information by publishing guidebooks and 

maps, conducting research, and affiliating with other 

outdoor organizations for the common goal of protecting 

the Adirondack Park. 

The 160-page book is written by two ADK staff members 

and both are seasoned outdoor adventurers. It 

includes GPS coordinates and QR codes for trailheads 

and parking areas, round-trip distances, difficulty ratings, 

maps and photos. Sections on wilderness safety and ethics 

help hikers have safe low-impact outings. Peaks and 

Ponds follows the smaller size, easy-to-read format of 

ADK’s other samplers with key trip info at the beginning 

of each description. The guidebook is available at local 

retailers or online: adk.org. Here’s a book excerpt: 

OK Slip Falls 

Located in the Hudson Gorge Wilderness, OK Slip 

Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in the Adirondacks, 

plummeting more than 200 feet. 

Key Trip Info – Round-trip: 6.5 miles (10.4K). Elevation 

change: 584 feet (178m). Difficulty: Easy+ (due to easy to 

moderate rolling terrain). GPS coordinates: 43.772470, 

-74.129670 (parking area). 

Trailhead – The parking area is on the south side of NY 

Route 28, 7.2 miles east of the NY Routes 28/30 junction 

in Indian Lake, and 4.9 miles west of the Thirteenth Lake 

Road/NY Route 28 junction in North River. It is marked 

with signs reading “Access to Hudson Gorge Wilderness 

Area” and “OK Slip Falls Trail.” The trailhead is across 

Route 28 from the parking area and requires 0.2 miles of 

road walking. Cross Route 28 and turn left, keeping the 

guard rail between you and the road. Walk against traffic, 

following red trail markers on the utility poles. The trailhead 

is down an embankment to the right, where there is 

an information kiosk and a trail register. 

Cross the low wet areas on bog bridges, following 

the red-marked trail toward Big Bad Luck, Ross, and 

Whortleberry Ponds. The trail meanders steadily downward 

through conifers and into a mixed forest of beech, 

maple, and spruce, with some hemlock. Occasional massive 

white pines tower above this woodland path. At 0.7 

▲ OK SLIP FALLS.

miles, the trail reaches a junction with the blue-marked 

OK Slip Falls Trail. Bear right and pass a “FALLS” sign on 

the blue-marked trail. 

From here, the trail bears northeast and makes a continuous 

rolling descent through an open forest. At 1.2 

miles, it climbs a small hill before continuing down again. 

The trail reaches another low, wet area at 1.8 miles and 

crosses a stream with a large, open marshy area visible on 

the right. It continues on the level until reaching a private 

road at 2.4 miles. Turn left and follow the road for a short 

distance before turning right toward the wooden “Falls 

Trail” sign. 

The path now resembles a wide woods road and 

begins a gradual descent, before crossing OK Slip Brook 

on a sturdy wooden bridge. The trail soon narrows as it 

winds through a typical northern hardwood forest, briefly 

following the right side of the brook before climbing the 

adjacent hillside. Once atop the hill, the trail descends 

through switchbacks toward an overlook of the falls. At 3.2 

miles, the trail reaches an unmarked junction. The path 

left leads down to the bank where OK Slip Brook empties 

into the Hudson River. Turn right to reach the two view-

points for the magnificent falls. The first overlook provides 

a view across the gorge through the surrounding trees. 

The second overlook is just past the first. Note: Avoid an 

unofficial trail that appears to lead beyond the second 

overlook down toward the gorge; it is very unstable and 

extremely steep. 

Trail in Winter – Suitable for all snowshoeing ability 

levels; trail crampons (spikes) recommended for icy sections 

in early spring and late fall.

elevation change (requires paddle across Indian Lake 

to reach trailhead). North Creek Mosaic Project on Main

In 2015, ADK trail crews assisted with construction of 

the gorge trail that forks off the main OK Slip Falls trail just 

before the first overlook area. Part of this work included 

building stone staircases to ease the traverse to the base of 

the gorge where OK Slip Brook meets the Hudson River.

NON-MEDICATED LIFE 

Benefits of Antioxidants 

By Paul E. Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP 

Medicines are a mainstay of 

American life and the healthcare 

system not only because they are 

perceived to work by the individuals 

taking them, but also because their 

benefit may be shown by the objective 

assessment of scientific study. Clinical 

research trials have shown that some 

of the medicines of Western science 

may reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes, 

heart attacks, strokes, cardiovascular 

death and even some cancers. 

In the first 116 installments of 

the Non-Medicated Life, a healthy 

diet and lifestyle have been shown to 

accomplish naturally for the majority 

of individuals most of the benefits 

of medications in the prevention of 

the chronic medical conditions mentioned 

above. With respect to a healthy 

diet, much of the benefit for cardiovascular 

disease and cancer prevention 

has been attributed to the presence of 

the antioxidants in foods. This article 

will address the potential mechanisms 

of benefit, why antioxidant supplements 

do not appear to offer benefit, 

and those foods that contain the most 

potent antioxidants for preventing disease 

and maintaining health. 

The energy necessary for life comes 

initially from sunlight. Through photosynthesis 

water, carbon dioxide, 

and minerals in the soil are converted 

into oxygen and energy containing 

organic compounds. When consumed 

by humans, these energy containing 

organic compounds are literally 

combined with oxygen (“burned” or 

oxidized) in cellular structures called 

mitochondria to produce energy for 

metabolism. While oxygen is necessary 

for the production of this energy, 

it may also contribute to the formation 

of so called “free radicals” that results in 

inflammation that may damage cellular 

structure and lead to disease. Thus, the 

primary role of antioxidants is to control 

the amount of inflammation and minimize 

damage to cellular structures. 

Editor’s Note: This is the 117th in a 

series on optimal diet and lifestyle to help 

prevent and treat disease. Any planned 

change in diet, exercise or treatment 

should be discussed with and approved 

by your personal physician before 

implementation. The help of a registered 

dietitian in the implementation of dietary 

changes is strongly recommended. 

For example, cholesterol deposited 

in the walls of arteries is, in part, a result 

of high LDL “the bad” cholesterol in the 

bloodstream. Nevertheless, LDL is inert in 

the artery wall until it becomes oxidized 

by reactive oxygen species produced in 

cells such as hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous 

acid, the hydroxyl radical or the 

superoxide anion. Once oxidized, the LDL 

activates elements of the immune system 

to produce inflammation and disease. By 

minimizing oxidation and preventing and 

interfering with this resultant inflammatory 

response, the antioxidants present in 

fruits and vegetables have been shown to 

decrease heart attacks and strokes. 

In an observational study with follow 

up of five-million person-years, a higher 

pro-inflammatory diet pattern was associated 

with higher levels of inflammatory 

biomarkers such as high sensitivity CRP as 

well as higher rates of cardiovascular disease. 

Oxidized damage to DNA can also 

cause mutations in the DNA and potentially 

increase the likelihood for cancer. In 

the Lyon Diet Heart Study, a high omega- 

3 (plant based omega-3) Mediterranean 

diet containing substantial amounts of 

vegetables and fruits reduced fatal and 

non-fatal heart attacks by 70% and, additionally, 

decreased a number of different 

cancers when compared to a prudent 

Western diet. 

However, the benefits of antioxidants 

present in fruits and vegetables does 

not appear to extend to antioxidants 

taken as isolated supplements. This may 

be because antioxidant supplements 

are given in non-physiological doses 

or because other cofactors in fruits and 

vegetables need to be present for the 

antioxidants to have 

maximal effect. In multiple 

clinical trials, antioxidant 

vitamins including vitamin E, vitamin 

C, and beta-carotene have shown no 

clear cardiovascular benefit. In the HDL 

Atherosclerosis Treatment Study (HATS) 

trial involving statin, niacin and an antioxidant 

cocktail including vitamin C, E, 

beta-carotene, and selenium the cardiovascular 

benefit of adding niacin to 

statin was offset when the antioxidants 

were added. One proposed explanation 

was that some oxidation was necessary to 

activate cellular repair mechanisms and 

complete suppression with high dose 

(non-physiological) antioxidants resulted 

in worse outcomes. 

Other studies suggest antioxidant supplementation 

may increase cancer risk. 

The Beta-Carotene and Retinol Efficacy 

Trial (CARET) found that smokers supplemented 

with beta-carotene and vitamin A 

had increased rates of lung cancer. In the 

Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene (ATBC) 

Cancer Prevention Study, the male smokers 

supplemented had a 17% higher incidence 

of lung cancer and an 8% higher 

all-cause mortality. 

If the consumption of antioxidants in 

foods is beneficial, are some foods superior 

to others? Plants certainly top the list 

containing 64 times the antioxidant content 

compared to animal derived foods. Of 

the plants, berries are extremely high in 

antioxidants, especially those containing 

the darkly colored anthocyanin pigments 

present in blueberries and blackberries. 

Kiwifruit, strawberries, and raspberries 

are high. Green leafy vegetables are high 

in antioxidants, especially cruciferous 

vegetables such as kale, broccoli, broccoli 

sprouts, watercress, and Brussels sprouts, 

but also cauliflower, and cabbage, especially 

purple cabbage. Nuts and seeds, 

especially walnuts, almonds and flaxseed 

are also high. Green tea, and 

dried herbs and spices such 

as oregano, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, 

cumin and turmeric are all high in 

antioxidants and add both complexity 

of flavors and enhanced enjoyment to 

the health benefits. 

In summary, antioxidants contained 

in foods provide much of the 

benefit of a healthy diet in reducing the 

risk of both cardiovascular disease and 

cancer. The mechanism of the benefit 

appears to be their ability to minimize 

the damage to cellular structures by 

reactive oxygen species produced by 

the burning of food for energy production. 

They reduce the oxidation of 

LDL cholesterol and the subsequent 

immune mediated inflammatory 

response which is the hallmark of atherosclerosis. 

They reduce the damage 

to DNA and resultant mutations that 

may promote cancer. Although such 

benefits occur with antioxidants contained 

in food, there is no evidence that 

when taken as a supplement a similar 

benefit results. By 

incorporating foods 

of known high antioxidant 

content 

into your diet, you 

may better assure 

health in the pursuit 

of the non-medicated 

life.
