Athletes from around the world will descend on the alpine village of Lake Placid to test their limits in Ironman Lake Placid. A favorite among competitors, the Lake Placid Ironman is the second oldest Ironman in North America, celebrating 25 years this year! It is also one of the sport's most popular courses.
The highly anticipated race begins with the swimmers entering the water at 6:30 a.m. for a 2.4-mile swim across beautiful Mirror Lake, followed by a demanding 112-mile bike leg through the Adirondack Mountains, and then a full marathon through the mountains and downtown, ending at the Olympic speed skating oval in the village of Lake Placid.
