The ARC Luau in the Park

firefox One of the most exciting summer events in Schenectady County, The ARC Luau in the Park. The Luau brings a little bit of the islands to Central Park in Schenectady every summer. The event features live entertainment, great food from locally reknowned BBQ'ers.

Entertainment

Last summer the crowd of Luau goers were entertained by a traditional Hula. Dancers from the Polynesian Dance Productions team were on hand to teach everyone a little Hawaii'an Hula. We are looking forward to their return this summer with even more dancers.

ARC5k Challenge

  • Do the 1 mile Family Wellness Walk
  • Run the 5k Challenge
  • Raise awareness of developmental disabilities

firefoxThe ARC 5k Challenge was developed to raise awareness of Developmental Disabilities. It also serves to educate the public on the use of insensitive terms such as the "R" word. Adults and Children with Developmental Disabilities are very similar to everyone else. They have tremendous abilities to achieve great things in life. The purpose of our race is to highlight the abilities that all individuals have.

The ARC 5k Challenge will run two routes through Central Park. Our Family Mini Wellness Challenge will allow children and families to participate in a fun but challenging course that will keep everybody fit and healthy. The 5k Course (USATF Certified) will provide even the most serious runner with a challenge. The course winds through Schenectady's beautiful Central Park. Challenging hills and relaxing flats will drive you to the finish line.
