The completely flat course will take place on the ice, starting near town and head toward South Bay before looping back to town. It is an out and back race. The race will start out on the ice approximately ¼ mile from the village. Be sure to allow time to get to the starting area after your arrival. The 1 mile fun run and 5K run concurrently and share the same course for the first ½ mile. Loaner snowshoes will not be available.
It is Winter Carnival Weekend in Raquette Lake and we encourage you to stick around to take advantage of the other events in town. Youth activities start at 11 a.m. and include plenty of fun games. Ladies Frying Pan Toss at 12 Noon, Ice Golf at 2 p.m. and bonfire all day. Fireworks on Saturday night at dusk! On Sunday at noon, it’s the Timed Cross-cut and chainsaw competition. Competitors welcome! For more information on the Winter Carnival call 518-624-3077.

Facilities
The race venue is completely outside on the lake. Be prepared with warm clothing and dry clothes for after the race. Keep in mind winds on the lake can be strong at times. Suggested clothing includes warm layers, gloves, hat, long tights or waterproof breathable pants. Snowshoes can be any style – metal, plastic or wood. We will have a campfire going near the start line. There will be portable toilets nearby on shore.

Parking
Free parking is available in the village, but space is limited. Please plan to carpool if possible.

Weather
In the unlikely event of no snow, we can still participate on the ice. A decision will be made 15 minutes before the race if snowshoes will be worn based on race day conditions. It is your responsibility to make sure that you have suitable traction devices that are safe for you to walk or run on. Recommended traction includes Kahtoola MicroSpikes or NanoSpikes. You can also make your own pair of screw shoes.

In the event of unsafe ice or windchill temperatures below -10, the race will not take place. A decision will be made by noon on the day prior to the race.

Entry Fee/Registration
In lieu of a registration fee, participants are asked to make a suggested donation in the amount of $30 for the 5K and $20 for the 1 mile fun run/walk. All money raised will benefit the Camp Huntington Historic Building Preservation Fund.

About the Series
Raquette Lake got its name from the French word for snowshoe. Knowing that the weather cannot be predicted and winter everchanging, the name, Rough Raquette seemed appropriate. All proceeds from the event will go toward the historic preservation efforts at Camp Huntington, also known as, Camp Pine Knot.

Camp Pine Knot is the first Great Camp of the Adirondacks and was originally built by William West Durant beginning in the mid-1870s. The original log and bark-sided structures have held up well, but need constant upkeep and preservation to ensure they are here for future generations.

Winter Birding Weekend
2023-01-28 07:00 - 2023-01-29 17:00 | Adirondack Hotel, 1245 Main Street, Long Lake, 12847, United States
Winter Birding Weekend in the Adirondacks!
Saturday & Sunday, January 28-29, 2023

Enjoy a weekend of birding trips in the Adirondacks this winter. Participants will look for winter irruptive species such as Bohemian Waxwings, Evening Grosbeaks, and Pine Grosbeaks, along with year-round boreal residents such as Ruffed Grouse, Black-backed Woodpecker, Canada Jay, and Boreal Chickadee. There is a bumper seed crop on the Ash Trees which has already enticed large numbers of Evening Grosbeaks into the Adirondacks this fall. While cones are in short supply this winter, there is an abundance of fruit to attract Bohemian Waxwings and Pine Grosbeaks. And of course, we will be on the lookout for northern owls also!

Field Trips: Joan Collins will lead field trips on both days. Both Saturday and Sunday morning, meet outside the Adirondack Hotel at 7 a.m. (near the bridge over Long Lake on Route 30). Participants can drive in their own vehicles, or car-pool, if they are comfortable, to reduce the number of cars in the train.

Social Dinner: This year, we are once again adding a social dinner back into the weekend plan! On Saturday evening, we can gather in the Adirondack Hotel dining room at 6 p.m. to enjoy a meal together.

Registration is required to attend the field trips. Call the Long Lake Parks and Recreation Department at 518-624-3077 to register. There is a maximum of 25 participants for each field trip.

Ski Patrol: Pops (Ray Walston) is the longtime owner of an easygoing ski lodge, but its future is put in jeopardy by cutthroat businessman Sam Maris (Martin Mull). Intent on replacing the lodge with an enormous resort, Maris schemes to get Pops’ lease revoked. What he doesn’t count on is the mountain’s madcap ski patrol. As the crazed crew leaps into action to save Pops’ business, Maris begins to wish he’d never thought of building his eyesore on their winter playground.
