About this race
We are excited to bring back for year #2 the unique fitness challenge we refer to as The Forge Quad-Athlon! If you are looking for a complete body and mind challenge, this might just be the ticket. This event will take place on Saturday, June 27th in Old Forge, NY. The Quad-Athlon will start and finish at the George T. Hiltebrant Center (201 North St., Old Forge, NY). You will ride, hike, paddle and run a total of 26.5 miles. The Quad-Athlon will start with a 13 mile mtn/gravel bike on the Tobie Trail (snowmobile trails). The bike is followed by a hike through the up and down trails on Vista Mountain for ~4.5 miles. After your adventurous hike you will then begin your 2.6 mile trail run on the Tobie Trail that will take you to Rondaxe Road where you will put your kayak in and start your 5.4 mile paddle down the beautiful Moose River. This portion of the Moose River is very calm with a slight current aiding your ride. The kayak leg exits onto North Street. After exiting your kayak you'll finish with a one mile run back to the Rec Center. Please check the website for updated course maps.
Technically the event doesn't end here...you will finish the amazing day of fun with a BBQ meal at Mountainside Smokehouse & Grill (5074 NY-28, Old Forge, NY) where your bike will be waiting for you. BBQ is free for all registered single entries. Vegan/Vegetarian options will be available as well.
