What is the expected water temperature for the swims?
The temperature for the 2011 swims was 73 degrees. The expected water temperature in the Hague area is usually in the low 70s in late August. We will post specific readings in the days leading into the event. Historic air temperature ranges between 54-77 throughout the day. It may be chilly in the morning so bring warm clothes.

Where is lodging available?
Please see the lodging page.

Where can we park?
You can park along the street outside of Hague Public Park (please try to stay inside the white lines). Nearby in the village, there’s a town parking lot next to the Wesleyan/Methodist Church. There’s another town parking lot right below the Firehouse Restaurant. You can park at the Community Center parking lot and of course people park up and down the streets. There is limited parking at the Town Park beach – please do not park in the spaces reserved for residents (there are signs that say “Multi-use sticker/residents only”).

What sort of evidence is required for the 5k and 10k?
Please submit evidence of having completed a swim of 2/3rds the distance of your chosen event (applies to 5k and 10k). Evidence may be emailed to events@greenleafracing.com and should include the date, venue, distance and time it took you to complete your swim. A link to previous race results is fine. These swims should be in open water and they may happen in or out of competition.

What safety plans do you have in place?
Safety is our #1 priority and we are focused on making the Lake George Swims as safe and fun as possible for our swimmers. We will have lifeguards, kayakers and motorcraft around the swim course providing oversight and keeping recreational boaters away from the course. Water safety support is being provided by Hague Fire Department, Lake George Coast Guard Auxiliary, Warren County Sheriff’s Office, contracted maritime consultants and volunteer kayakers and boaters. A Hague ambulance unit will be on shore with EMTs. We are grateful to everyone for their help with providing oversight for this event.

Is anyone interested in carpooling?
We recommend reaching out to others on our Facebook page to see if anyone else would like to carpool.

What kind of swag/awards are there?
We are currently working on our 2012 swag and awards.

What is there to do throughout the weekend?
Hague is a beautiful hamlet located on the northern end of Lake George. Fort Ticonderoga is 10 minutes to the north. Lake George Village is 30 minutes south. Hague Public Beach is a family-friendly venue with bathroom facilities, a playground for the kids and a roped-off swim area for the public (monitored by lifeguards during regular hours). There are hiking trails in town, a general store for goods and a couple restaurants.
