I Run Saratoga Half Marathon

🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏿‍♂️ BACK AGAIN THIS SUNDAY! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️

We’re back for another iRun Saratoga Half Marathon Preview Run this Sunday at 7 AM! Meet us at Canfield Casino and run part or all of the course with us. 🏃🏽‍♀️🌲

Why preview the course?

🧠 1. Visualization matters. Your mental game is a HUGE part of racing. When you’ve already experienced the course in your mind — the turns, the landmarks and how you felt running them — it’s much easier to know what to expect on race day. You’ve already been there once mentally!

🏃🏽‍♀️ 2. Practice makes race day easier. You’ll get a chance to experience the course, see how it feels, ask questions and figure out where you might want to push, settle in or save some energy.

🤝 3. Meet your running crew! One of the best parts of these preview runs is running with other people who are training for the same race. We’ll do our best to match people up with pace groups based on turnout, so everyone can find a group that feels right.

And if you only want to get in a few miles, we’ll have shortened options, too! You can run part of the course or go for the whole thing — totally up to you.

FREE • ALL PACES WELCOME • THIS SUNDAY • 7 AM

📍 Meet at Canfield Casino

Come experience the course, get those miles in, ask questions and build a little confidence before race day. ❤️

Hope to see you there! 🏃🏽‍♀️🎠🐎

🚨📆The countdown is on... and what you don’t see is everything happening behind the scenes.

Yesterday, our team gathered at Saratoga Springs City Hall alongside the Saratoga Springs Police Department, New York State Park Police, city officials, emergency services, and community partners for another race logistics meeting.

While race day lasts just a few hours, preparing for the first one has taken well over a year of managing infrastructure logistics before getting into the race details.

Long before registration even opened, we’ve been working behind the scenes—reviewing every turn, every intersection, every safety plan, every volunteer assignment, and every detail that goes into creating an unforgettable race experience. Countless hours have been invested to ensure this event is safe, well-organized, and showcases the very best of Saratoga Springs.

And the excitement keeps growing...

🎉 We’re approaching 1,350 registered runners with 46 days still to go!

If registrations continue at this pace, we’re on track to host the largest half marathon in Saratoga history!!!! That’s an incredible milestone for our running community, our local businesses, and our city.

Now we need your help to make it happen.

🤝 We’re looking for approximately 200 volunteers to help at intersections, aid stations, the start and finish lines, and throughout the course. If you’d like to be part of this historic event, we’d love to have you on our team.

📣 Live or own a business along the course? Come outside on race day! Bring your cowbells, make signs, play some music, and cheer on thousands of runners as they make their way through Saratoga Springs. The energy from our community is what turns a great race into an unforgettable one.

This has truly become a community-wide effort, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome runners from near and far on September 20.

Meet Lindsay! 🏃‍♀️✨ Lindsay is celebrating 13 years of running by taking on her first 13.1 this year. What started as a fun 5K with friends back in 2013 quickly turned into a love for the camaraderie and race-day atmosphere. Since then, she’s tackled races like the Stockade-athon, Ragnar, and even a biathlon.

After a brief hiatus, Lindsay is excited to lace up her running shoes again 👟. She’s just beginning her training, but she’s looking forward to the feeling of setting a goal and seeing it through—not just on race day, but every day. Beyond finishing, her goals are to soak in the electric race energy ⚡ and connect with others in the running community. 🤝

If you don’t consider yourself “a runner,” Lindsay believes you just have to start—no specific pace, distance, body type, or experience required. The shift happens when you commit to something, like signing up for a race 📅. That small bit of accountability turns “maybe someday” into “I’m doing this.” All it takes is putting one foot in front of the other 👣

Beyond her running, Lindsay is a registered dietitian 🥗 and the founder of Pinnacle Nutrition in Saratoga.

Specializing in data-driven nutrition and metabolic insights, she helps people understand their metabolism, build healthier habits, and feel stronger in their bodies. 💫
