Lake Monster 5k and 12k 2025

The Lake Monster 5k, 12K, and 1.5 mile walk begins in A NEW LOCATION this year!

This year the race will begin at Chaumont's newest park, Veteran's Memorial Park at 12200 NYS Route 12E. (Next to Wise Guy's Restaurant) 

Runners then make their way to Point Salubrious for a 5K out and back or 12K loop along the scenic Lake Ontario shoreline with views of Guffin, Sawmill and Chaumont Bay, as well as Cherry Island. A 1.5 mile walk will follow the same direction as the 5K and will also be out and back.  Our Lake Monster logo was designed by a Lyme Central School student, Rosamond Hunt. The creature is A Great Blue Heron, Osprey and Northern Pike hybrid and represents the lush Great Lakes wildlife.  Proceeds will benefit Lyme Parks and Recreation and the Lyme Community Foundation.
