Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 — 6.5K (4 Miles) July 4 • 8:00 AM Start Life. Liberty. Lake. Love. Every Turn Counts. Two hundred and fifty years ago, this region stood at the cutting edge of the fight for American independence. Lake Champlain was the highway, the strategy, and the lifeline — and the communities along its shores were right in the middle of it. This July 4th, we’re celebrating that history the Essex way: by getting outside, gathering together, and running (or walking) through the same beautiful landscape where it all unfolded. Welcome to the Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 — a professionally chip-timed 4-mile race celebrating community, fresh Adirondack air, working farmland, and a finish that leads straight into one of the best small-town Fourth of July celebrations around. Brought to you by Lake Champlain Yoga, Pilates & Wellness, and formerly known as the Essex Firecracker Run, this year we’re leveling up for the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution in beautiful Essex-on-Lake Champlain, right in the heart of the Adirondack Park. Yes, it’s historic. Yes, it’s meaningful. Yes, it’s also going to be a lot of fun. Not a runner? You can still be part of the revolution. Register to support High Peaks Hospice and receive the commemorative race shirt or go to our online store. All proceeds from the Essex Revolution Run/Walk 250 benefit High Peaks Hospice, supporting compassionate end-of-life care for families throughout our region. Early registration is open now — and the early bird price disappears soon. Runners from across the region are already registering! Come make a little history of your own in Essex. Runners, walkers, families, first-timers, and seasoned racers are all welcome. If you can cover four miles and enjoy a good Fourth of July celebration, you belong here. Invite a friend, form a team, or bring the whole family — Independence Day is better together. The Basics (Because Details Matter) Start Location Lake Champlain Yoga & Well
