About the Race:
• With the starting line at Mt. Pisgah Rec-
reation Center, racers skin up the moun-
tain and then downhill ski (pole) un-
til they find their bikes at the bottom.
• There, they bike across town (ped-
al) to Dewey Mountain Recreation
Center, where they nordic ski for
two laps on the groomed trails.
• Getting back on their bikes, racers ride
toward downtown and the frosty Sara-
nac River, where they kayak or canoe
(paddle) downstream from Beaver Park
to the Saranac Lake Fish and Gun Club.
• Not quite done yet, racers exit the wa-
ter (most racers emerge dry) and run 1.7
miles back to Mt. Pisgah, where beers
from local race sponsor Rivertrail Beer-
works await.
