This May come celebrate the Fourth Annual Sparta Mountain Day.  Residents and visitors can enjoy hikes and demonstrations on the 3,000 acres of preserved woodlands, while taking up a fight against cancer.

The day's events will start with a "LiveStrong" 5K run to raise funds for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, a nonprofit group created by the seven-time Tour de France winner and cancer survivor.

The run will start at Heaters Pond in Ogdensburg and end at Edison Park in Sparta.

Other activities later in the day will include traditional Sparta Mountain Day events, such as hikes around Sparta Mountain and Ryker's Lake, a raptor presentation and mining walks.

New for this year will be presentations by local and state experts about weather and bears.

The events will be held on May 18, rain or shine, according to Morrison. Participants should come prepared with water, proper footwear and a cellular phone. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

All events, with the exception of the run, are free but advance registration is requested.

The first 300 people who register for the run will receive a Sparta Mountain Day T-shirt.
