The biking leg of the triathlon attracts athletes from throughout the region.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Alpha Win\u2019s 18th Annual Lake George Triathlon – a weekend of endurance and fun – is returning to the shores, bikeways, and streets of Lake George over Labor Day weekend, Saturday August 31 – Sunday, September 1. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Standing by the motto, \u201cA Distance For Everyone\u00ae,\u201d the Alpha Win Lake George Triathlon features Sprint, Olympic and Long Course triathlon distances, coupled with aquabike and duathlon options. The competition is set to be fierce with the Northeastern Collegiate Triathlon Conference in attendance, bringing together some of the most prominent collegiate tri-athletes in the region. This event joins Alpha Win\u2019s extensive calendar of New York offerings, including the Saugerties Triathlon, Hudson Valley Triathlon, and Hudson Valley Marathon.<\/p>\n

The races begin on Saturday morning at 7 a.m. sharp at Million Dollar Beach with the Long Course wave start. The Alpha Long Course is a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike, and 13.1-mile run.\u00a0 <\/span>After Saturday\u2019s races, participants and supporters are invited to enjoy an exclusive dinner aboard Lake George Steamboat Company\u2019s Mohican, at 6:15 p.m. This excursion can be purchased during race registration.<\/p>\n

The races continue Sunday morning, with the Alpha Sprint kicking off at 6:30 a.m. This is a 750-meter swim, 12.4-mile bike, and 3.1-mile run. Awards for this race will be handed out at 9:00 a.m. The final race, the Alpha Olympic, will start at 7:10 a.m. This is a 1,500-meter swim, 24.8-mile bike, and a 6.2-mile run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race Director Tommy Struzzeri believes the endurance industry is primed for a company like Alpha that will help people of all abilities get into racing. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u201cWe are excited to welcome athletes back to the beautiful shores of Lake George for an enjoyable weekend of racing. The Lake George Triathlon combines experienced athletes and new people to the sport. I can\u2019t wait to see a variety of athletes achieve their goals as they cross the finish line\u201d,\u00a0 <\/span>said Struzzeri.<\/p>\n

Gina Mintzer, executive director of the Lake George Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau, highlighted the impact and uniqueness of events like the Lake George Triathlon Festival in Warren County: \u201cThe Lake George Triathlon Festival remains a magnet for athletes and families, generating a substantial economic impact in the region. What sets this triathlon apart is the opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in the finest natural elements of our area. They can relish swimming in the pristine waters of Lake George, cycling along scenic routes through upstate New York, and completing the run through the Village of Lake George.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alpha Win has also announced its official charity partner, Lake George Land Conservancy. The LGLC protects the land within the Lake George watershed to preserve the world renowned water quality of the lake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored to once again be the beneficiary of Alpha Win\u2019s Triathlon. This great event perfectly showcases the beauty of Lake George, its mountains, and the clean water that the LGLC works to protect. We are grateful to Alpha Win, and the athletes who choose to donate to the LGLC, for their support of our mission to protect the land that protects the lake\u201d, said Sarah Hoffman, communications and outreach manager.<\/p>\n

Sponsors for this event include Xterra and Trek Saratoga, in addition to several regional partners including; Warren County Tourism, Glens Falls Hospital of Albany Med Health System, Luxury Lake George Vacations, Adirondack Brewery, Northern Living, Elevation Medical Aesthetic, and more listed on their race page.<\/p>\n
