Press-Republican LAKE PLACID The second ADK Unite a virtual running, walking and cycling event dedicated to raising funds for Tri-Lakes community food banks is back with a twist. “It started last year with a desire last year to help our local food banks at a time when they were really struggling because the pandemic hit in the spring of last year and people were really hurting and the food banks were really struggling to keep food on the shelves,” Doug Haney, event organizer and Bike Adirondacks owner, said. “We started this event as a way to raise money for them in order to keep the shelves stocked. It was so successful last year, the outpouring and the engagement in the event was so big, it just didn’t make sense to do only one year.
