Race Event Information
The 2nd Annual XTERRA Onteora Triathlon once again takes place in the "Land in the Sky." The beautiful scout camp located in the Catskill Mountains will provide a very challenging bike and run course after a nice swim in Orchard Lake. Come test yourself on the possibly the hardest course in the Northeast Region. XTERRA Onteora is also the last race of the XTERRA points series and can provide some valuable points. We will once again be having a Great Post Race BBQ on the Parade Field provided by Coyote Jack's, so put this race on your calendar and come join us for the XTERRA Experience.
Date: August 31, 2008
Time: 11:00 AM
Location: Onteora Scout Reservation, Livingston Manor, NY
Distances: .5 mile Swim, 11 mile mountain bike, 5k run
Course Details:
The course will start with a 1/2 mile swim in Orchard Lake. Orchard Lake is a man made lake that used to be an apple orchard. Some portions of the lake are shallow and have lake grass. Racers will exit the lake and proceed directly into the Transition Area. Bikers will exit onto the camp road, cross a small bridge over the creek and proceed into the 2 loop mountain bike course. The bike course features a tru mix of all types of courses. There are portions on Jeep roads, single track portions, steep rocky descents and some sections that you will need to dismount to get over obstacles. It is a true test of mountain biking. After finishing the bike course racers will have to tackle one of the hardest 5k's out there. The run is a mix of single track and jeep roads and racers will be greeted with areas of the course such as Tom Quick's Ascent, Lung Burner Hill and the crossing of Wildcat Falls, which is usually dry during the summer. You will truly immerse yourself in nature during this race and if when you finish you will have Survived the Land in the Sky. Course Videos will be made this year.
