3rd Annual Hudson Highlands Greenway Triathlon Featured in Hudson River Valley Ramble
The Philipstown Greenway Committee is offering a special event as part of the Ninth Annual Hudson River Valley Ramble in September—the Hudson Highlands Greenway Triathlon, to be held Sunday, September 28, beginning at 9am.
The third annual event offers spectacular views along a challenging race course. "The Philipstown Greenway Committee invites triathletes and racers working in teams to sample the fun to be had on the Greenway hiking, biking and water trails in our Town. You'll be paddling to Bannerman's Island, biking across the Bear Mountain Bridge, and running on trails a thousand feet above sea level," said Michael McKee, Philipstown Greenway Committee Chair. All triathlon events start and end in the Dockside park of Hudson Highlands State Park in Cold Spring .
The Greenway Committee is partnering this year with Scenic Hudson to present the Triathlon as part of the Ramble. To find out more, go to www.HudsonHighlandsTriathlon.org or call 845-803-4145. All racers must register in advance at www.Active.com. Event volunteers may also register at Active.com or email info@HudsonHighlandsTriathlon.org. The Ramble offers the opportunity for participants to enjoy guided walking, hiking, kayaking and biking experiences, estuary explorations and historic site tours that highlight the significant historical, cultural and natural resources of the Hudson River Valley. Events are offered on every ability level and many are free.
Several event series offer an in-depth exploration of themes that earned the region its designation as a National Heritage Area. They include the role of the Hudson Valley in the Revolutionary War, the Hudson River School of Art, the Great Estates and the Hudson River Estuary. Nearly 200 environmental, land conservancy, trail and historic preservation organizations, New York State historic sites and parks, as well as the National Park Service participate by offering events. More than 100,000 people participated in the 2007 Ramble.
