Doc Lopez Run for Health
Celebrate Spring. Embrace the Adirondacks.
Each spring, the Doc Lopez Run for Health brings runners, walkers, and outdoor enthusiasts together for a refreshing start to the season, all while supporting population health with Elizabethtown Community Hospital.
This beloved community event offers something for everyone:
Half Marathon: A stunning 13.1‑mile point‑to‑point course honoring Dr. Robert “Doc” Lopez: veterinarian, accomplished runner, and Adirondack legend. The race begins in Keene Valley and follows the scenic NY Route 9N corridor straight into Elizabethtown.
5K Trail Race: A fun, family‑friendly route inviting participants of all ages and abilities to run, jog, walk, or even skip along a beautiful Adirondack trail. New route this year!
Running club and family discounts are available during registration!
Thanks to our generous event sponsors, registration stays affordable and more of the proceeds go directly toward supporting patients and families in our community. It’s a true celebration of health, nature, and togetherness.
Support Your Community With Every Step!
