Route 50 Mile

Thank you again for your support of the Annual Route 50 Mile!

We've just been informed that the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake BPA has made the difficult decision to cancel this year's Flag Day Parade in light of the current air quality warning. This also cancels our Annual Route 50 Mile road race.

It is the hope of both the BHBL BPA and CAPTAIN CHS that we can find a way to reschedule. In the meantime, we ask for your patience and understanding as we work with the BHBL BPA to review available options.

We'll be in contact very soon with this follow-up information regarding a reschedule date and/or options for your support this year with sponsorship and registration.

Thank you again for all of your incredible support. Please stay tuned over the next week for additional information.
