The race takes place in Emerson Park which is along Oswego Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. Participants of all ages and skill levels compete to win or just for fun. After the race, there is a complementary lunch and entertainment for competitors and volunteers in the park.
The running portion of the race begins in the park and travels through Auburn. The bike ride is challenging and hilly and goes through the Town of Owasco. Paddling will take place in Owasco Lake.

A free kids fun run will also take place the morning of the races. The fun run will start at the same time and run for a mile along the running route. Kids will start behind the rest of the group so that they will not be trampled by faster runners.
