Description: The Lake Placid Trail Challenge is back for its second edition, and it’s set to redefine your perception of trail racing. Hosted in collaboration with Spartan Trail and ORDA, this event is your opportunity to conquer the scenic beauty and rich history of Olympic cross country trails in Lake Placid. Mt Van Hoevenberg is a massive nordic ski center with endless trails of all types. Single track, double track, flat, steep, and flowy, you’ll find it all here at the venue that hosted events for the 1980 Winter Olympics. Racers will start and finish in the stadium that serves as the centerpiece to this winter sports complex, and their path will take them through dense forest and up steep climbs to the top of a bobsled track and beyond. Epic views await at the summit, as does a test of the legs for the long descent to the finish
