News and Updates

All registrants should have received an email reminder with important information about their site. If you were the registrant for your group and you did NOT receive an email (please check your junk/spam folder) reach out to Sarah (email shoffman@lglc.org) if you have any questions.

Important Notes for All:

• Please refer to the confirmation and reminder emails sent to the registrant’s email address, or refer to the Sites page for your hike/paddle start time and other details.
• Please arrive 20 minutes prior to start time to allow time for parking and check-in. Leaders will start the hike promptly and cannot wait for you if you are late.
• T-shirts will be supplied at check-in.
• Please be prepared with food and plenty of water. (There will be a limited supply of extra water available at check-in donated by JUST water, however, you should come prepared with your own filled water bottle.)
• Wear sturdy, close-toed shoes and appropriate clothes to protect against insects and the weather, including a hat or other sun protection. **Wearing unsafe footwear (e.g. flipflops, sandals, or other unsupportive footwear, or not wearing appropriate socks to prevent blistering) presents a safety risk. If your volunteer leaders determine that your footwear is inappropriate, they may deny your participation.
• If you are participating in a paddle, you must bring and wear a personal flotation device.
• If you have any questions or need to cancel your registration, please contact me at 518-644-9673 or email shoffman@lglc.org as soon as possible.

Weather:
The event will carry on in light rain, though will be canceled in the case of severe weather (thunder and lightning). Please use your own judgment before heading out and bring raingear if it looks necessary. Any event changes, if needed, will be posted on the event’s website homepage (lakegeorgehikeathon.org) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/LakeGeorgeHikeAThon).

Dogs:
Dogs are permitted to join MOST hikes (exceptions: Up Yonda Farm, Prospect Mt, The Sembrich, and Buck Mt/Chingachgook) however they must be kept on a leash at all times. Please only bring your dog if you know they do well with crowds, other dogs, and the noise of the helicopter.

After Party:
Hike-A-Thon participants and their friends and family are invited to join us at the After Party! 11:30 am to 3:00 pm at the Charles R. Wood Park Festival Space in the Village of Lake George. Visit our After Party Page for details.
