Adirondacks Trail Running / Hiking Trip | September 12 - 14, 2025
The Adventure Society is a social club for NYC's physically active business & community leaders. Helping you Thrive in the Wild, by building stronger leaders through mindful movement and meaningful connections. Our trips are organized with a curated group of subject matter experts, thought leaders, and those that are adventurous at heart.
Trip Overview 📌
Summit 3 of the Adirondack's 46 high mountain peaks, while spending the time connecting with your peers and nature. We will depart in the morning and run/hike to the summit(s). Then enjoy the rest of the day swimming in Heart Lake, sharing stories, exploring the Adirondacks, and enjoying the comforts of the Loj.
We will divide into groups of runners/hikers. We do not expect everyone to have the fitness of Kilian Jornet, but the most important thing is that you come prepared to conquer this challenge and give it your all.
