The Saratoga Palio Melanie Merola O'Donnell Memorial Race

The Melanie Foundation’s most significant fundraiser, The Saratoga Palio, has become a signature event in Saratoga each fall. Its success has helped The Melanie Foundation expand its support of aspiring mental health practitioners. The Saratoga Palio is fast becoming a regional favorite, thanks to its breathtaking course through the heart of Saratoga Springs and for the great cause it supports. And with a certified 5K run/walk, a children’s run, and a certified half marathon, the Saratoga Palio is as exciting for families as it is for serious runners. The success also has enabled The Melanie Foundation to give back to Saratoga Springs – the community that gave us Melanie. Volunteer opportunities available. After party hosted by Druthers Brewing Company.
