It's more than just a race. It's about a community of people and a special place that maintains and invests in youth opportunites right in the village of Saranac Lake. Please join me in giving back and raising funds to support youth in Saranac Lake.
Saranac Lake 3P
We're a handful of locals who love where we live...
And we recreate a lot. Right here. We ride bikes. Mountain bikes. Road bikes. Balance bikes. We paddle. Flatwater. Whitewater. Any water. We hike. And Backpack. We ski. We go uphill, downhill, skate, classic. But it's more than that, we live here and love the access to all things outdoors where we live. That our home has so much to offer from the backcountry to the front-country venues. So, we got to thinking, why not create an event that combines some of the best local recreational venues that our small but mighty village has to offer into a community celebration of these attributes. The Saranac Lake 3P <pole/pedal/paddle> was born.
SaranacLake3P, Inc. is a locally based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization set up to oversee, coordinate and produce the Saranac Lake 3P race event. We formed in order to contribute to the community in the form of sponsoring an exciting, safe, and most importantly fun event that we ourselves would love to participate in.
The Saranac Lake Youth Center opened in 1982 and serves all Middle and High School students primarily in the Saranac Lake School District. The Center’s focus is on forming positive relationships and being respectful and responsible. The Center provides support and guidance while allowing the teens the freedom to express themselves and to explore their growing independence. It is a space where teens feel safe and accepted during the unstructured after-school hours. It is a space just for them, and it is a fun place to be with games, arts,social activities, school help, friendly faces, and a positive network of peers.
