Join us for the 2nd Annual Fall Festival and 5K on the Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail and at the adjacent Firefighter’s Memorial Park!
In collaborating with localities, the 5K race will kick off at 11am in the Hilton Barn area in the Town of New Scotland, run its course route down the length of the Albany County Rail Trail, and finish across the bridge at the Slingerlands trailhead. The running event is dubbed the “Barn to Bridge Fall Fest 5K,” and it is being managed by ARE (Albany Running Exchange) Event Productions.
The Fall Festival portion of the event is free and open to the public and will also start at 11am at the Slingerlands trailhead area of the County Rail Trail as well as the Firefighter’s Memorial Park at 1510 New Scotland Avenue, Slingerlands, NY through a partnership with the Town of Bethlehem.
Fall Fest will feature a kids fun run, yoga sessions, food, drink and other vendors, a bounce house, dunk tank, rock climbing wall, face painting, a tug-of-war competition, and musical performances from local entertainers Rick Bedrosian, Ten Most Wanted, A-Blast, and Bethlehem Traditional Irish Dance.
This year, the cap on runners will be raised from 300 to 500 total participants. The price of the race for adults is $10, and it includes a commemorative t-shirt and one free meal ticket at participating food trucks at Fall Fest. The kids fun run is free to enter.
