By Provided June 3, 2021

The Towns of Plattsburgh and Saranac are co-sponsoring a unique event for the region on August 14th  – the River Run Mini-Triathlon!  Come enjoy the views of the Saranac River Valley from three different perspectives.  

This event will start  at 9 a.m. sharp with a scenic 6.8 mile paddle on the Saranac River from Picketts Corners Recreation Park in Saranac to the Cadyville Beach. Next up is a short one mile run to the Cadyville Recreation Park for the Recreation Division and a 5K through the park for the Competitive Division.  

From here, you will hop on your bike and  embark on the 8.6 mile trip back along Hardscrabble Road with amazing  valley views to the finish line, back at Picketts Corners Recreation Park. All abilities are welcomed and encouraged to  join us for this exciting event.  Participants can compete individually,  or enter as a three person team. The fun continues after the race with  an awards ceremony with music and food trucks at Picketts Corners Park. 

Registration  is limited to the first 100 entries and open to all adults 16 years and older. Cost is $40 for individual entries and $80 for team entries. Pre-registration is required by July 23rd online at www.townofplattsburghrecreation.com  or at the Town of  Plattsburgh Parks & Recreation office at 151 Banker Road.
