Community Impact

The Olga 5 and 10K Run and 5K Walk has become a traditional Saranac Lake summer event. For the past 29 years it has continued to support multiple community causes, including the Riverwalk, Girl Scouts and the Skatepark. This year we are pleased to continue the partnership between the Rotary Club of Saranac Lake and the Saranac Lake Youth Center. Our goal is to raise $10,000. The proceeds will benefit our local youth through increased programming at the Youth Center and enhance the Rotary's literacy program that puts a book in the hands of every child in the elementary school.
